This song is not a love song and I dedicated this to the one concerned who really love this song that made me digged deeper why, he cried for this song. I heard this when I was a child, I loved it but I was not giving the importance of the lyrics' meaning, how it impact's someone's life. I was talking with someone the other few days and he played this song. It triggered me so much when he cried like a baby. So searched the title and try my rendition. I am not feeling well to sing but I tried and dedicated it to him. Now, I knew why and the lyrics told me about how he felt.
Lyrics: Itanong Sa Mga Bata
Ikaw ba'y nalulungkot?
Ikaw ba'y nag-iisa?
Walang kaibigan?
Walang kasama?
Ikaw ba'y nalilito?
Pag-iisip mo'y nagugulo
Sa buhay ng tao?
Sa takbo ng buhay mo?
Ikaw ba'y isang mayaman
O ika'y isang mahirap lang?
Sino sa inyong dalawa
Ang mas nahihirapan?
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ikaw ba'y walang nakikita
Sa takbo ng buhay nila?
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang buhay ay hawak nila
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang sagot ay 'yong makikita
Ikaw ba'y ang taong
Walang pakialam sa mundo?
Ngunit ang katotohanan
Ikaw ma'y naguguluhan
Tayo ay naglalakbay
Habol natin ang buhay
Ngunit ang maging bata ba'y tulay
Tungo sa hanap nating buhay?
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang aral, sa kanila makukuha
Ano nga ba ang gagawin
Sa buhay na hindi naman sa atin?
Itanong mo sa mga bata
Itanong mo sa mga bata
Ano ang kanilang nakikita
Sa buhay na hawak nila?
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Sila ang tunay na pinagpala
Kaya dapat nating pahalagahan
Dapat din kayang kainggitan?
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ikaw ba'y walang nakikita
Sa takbo ng buhay nila?
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang buhay ay hawak nila
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang sagot ay iyong makikita

English Version:
Ask The Children
Are you sad?
Are you alone?
No friends
Just by yourself
Are you confused?6
Is your mind weary?
From this life
How your life is going
Are you a wealthy person?
Or are you poor?
Which one of you
Is having a hard time
KORO
Look at the children
Watch the children
Can't you see anything
How their life runs?
Look at the children
Life is in their hands
Watch the children
You will see the answer
Are you a person
Who has no care for the world
But the truth is
You are also confused
We are travelling
We race in this life
But to become a child is the bridge
Towards the life we want
Look at the children
The lesson can be learned
What do we do
To the life that we don't own
KORO 2
Ask the children
Ask the children
What do they see
The life in their hands
Look at the children
They are truly blessed
So we should cherish it
Do we need to be jealous of it?
Ulitin ang unang koro

*Are we jealous to the children who have a simple way of life but for me, since childhood I was already a determination of having an adult mindset. I never enjoyed my life as a child because my mother taught me the basic needs in life amd she was giving me an obligation to do everyday. I not jealous to the children. I lived my life in difference.
Being the eldest among six siblings I have the full responsibilities for them all until now most especially that our parents are already dead.
For my friend, I respect his feeling and we have a different way of our life. They are rich and I am poor. They are so handsome and beautiful family but I am ugly. But thanks God, we can share many things in life in common without looking the gap between us.
That's life!
