Rappers harmonizing?! Paradox in most, standard in the RP. To add to the anomaly, the lyrics contain humility and self-deprecation not synonymous with rap: dude's so enamored with the girl, works up courage and quells hesitation with liquor and pep-talk but is too afraid of rejection that all he can manage in the end is follow like a lovesick puppy and stare longingly from afar. Edit: whoops, someone already did a line by line translation... Even better
Here is my attempt in translating the lyrics for you. My very first attempt. Flow G: I don't know how I will carry my feelings for you because I can only stare and that is not enough I don't want to hide it but I still cannot say it to you And maybe you will just snob and ignore me Even if I drink Empi (short for Emperador brandy) and gin it is not enough for courage Where will I borrow it from? Even if I get drunk I wake up still a coward. How will you go with me if I don't ask you out? How will I win if I don't bet? Sometimes I think of stopping but then my mind changes. There is an abundance of hope but short of courage. So it doesn't look like there is a chance. I just want to be your Popoy, Basha. (college couple in a Filipino movie) That is my long time fantasy. MC Einstein: I have been following you for a long time. Staring at you and cannot help watching you from afar And thinking how I can be near you although there is a lot of distance between us Until when will I wait for a reward or what I do? So when I bet I will not be shamed. Yuri Dope: I am not saying anything but my heart has been beating for you for a long time. but sometimes it is in pain Because I cannot tell you, I am not just acting I do not know how to do it, because I might get blocked So I set my mind not to try at all. That is a dream so I ask you slap me so when I wake up I will wait for the right time. There is nothing wrong with being patient. If you are meant for me I will just wait when I get rewarded. Although nothing will happen especially when I do nothing. My eyes might turn white if I wait for a miracle. It is not impossible for you to notice me if I don't hide. I just need to be brave if I want us to be together There is no other way if I lose myself to fear. I would be pitiful if I only watch you from afar I need to change because MC Einstein: (repeats verses from above) Jekkpot: It is has been so long if you think of it Only thing is you do not know of it. I have nobody to blame but myself For being such a coward for fear of being shamed/rejected Even if they call me Torpe (a tagalog slang for someone who don't know how to approach the person they like) I don't mind to what the cazies say They don't know the feeling I hope you guys don't feel this That you don't know that I love you You have captured the beauty that's for a fantasy My problem is I am so simple How will I make you love me? I can't stare at your eyes. My strategy is going crazy I can't help myself to have you for me only In what way will I talk to you I wont know if you will be startled If I get close to you my heart will be thumping automatically I just want you to know that it has been so long that I MC Einstein: (repeats verses from above twice)
Ewan ko kung pano ko bibitbitin Translation: I don’t know how I can keep carrying this torch for you coz just staring is not enough.(oh) I don’t want to keep it in but looks like I can’t even bring it up. And you might just snub me and not notice. Not enough even when drinking empi (emperador brandy) and gin Courage isn’t there, where can I borrow some Even if I get drunk, what’s the point if I’m still a coward when I wake up How will they come with, if I don’t invite How can I win if I don’t place the bet Sometimes I think, maybe don’t (ie why bother) But my mind changes after a bit And too much hope, lacking confidence Is why, looks like chances are fading (chance) All I want is to be your Popoy, Basha That’s my long time fantasy Chorus For a while, I’ve been following, gazing and it can’t be avoided Staring at you from afar and Puzzling over how So I can approach but far is the space between How long will I hang around to get somewhere (literal translation is benefit) Going about this so when I place my bet, don’t lose face Just not moving; long time heart’s been beating My heart is yours just some times it stings Can’t tell you I’m not fronting Just don’t know how to attack Coz I might get shot down It’s why, tattooed in my brain, don’t even try It’s all just a dream so slap me So I’ll wake up; wait for the right time instead, coz nothing bad with persevering If you’re for me then I’ll hang around ‘til I make gains(or reap benefits) However nothing’s happening especially since I’m not doing Also maybe pupils will turn white if I wait for a miracle (oh) Not unlikely that you’ll notice me if I wasn’t hiding I just need to be brave if I want there to be an us There’s no other way where fear will allow itself to be defeated Pity me, left with just gazes from afar I think I need to change coz Insert chorus It’s been a long while if you think about it But you don’t know; who should I blame If not myself who’s profoundly afraid of getting embarrassed Treat me as “torpe” (definition: someone too meek to court someone they like), I don’t pay attention to ‘what will be said by the crazies who don’t care about what I’m feeling I hope you never feel this, my love for you that you don’t know exists Imprisoned me, you’re beauty is for fantasy That’s the problem I’m working on, really simple How can I get you to love (to love) These eyes that can’t gaze (can’t gaze) Maybe my strategy will go loco (definition is probably closer to Spanish loco than English crazy) But I can’t resist making you just mine (just mine) What attack (translation probably closer to approach) can let me talk to you (talk to you) Can’t conceive, maybe you’ll be surprised (maybe you’ll be surprised) When I approach that the tension in my chest is (auto)matic I just want you to know that ages ago, for the longest time, me to you Chorus x2 Side note: “Kita” has no direct translation to English or Spanish. I love you if translated directly should be “Ako mahal ikaw” but we never say that because love is given from one person to another to be shared so instead we say “Mahal kita.” Kita roughly means me to you. Also, there is no he or she in our language so you’ll never see either word in any well translated Filipino text so when I write they, it doesn’t necessarily mean “sila” (direct translation of they), it could also stand for “siya” (non gendered pronoun referring to another person, in place of he or she) Lastly, this is a clumsy translation compared to the actual lyrics. There are many things that just cannot be translated like the intentional use of a certain word to imply degree or intensity or context. The rhyming doesn’t translate. The wit doesn’t translate. Basically, the Tagalog version is better. Also I’m not a linguist so someone else could have a much better translation
The one in brown is the one wearing eye glasses on the "pauwi na ako song". He raps so fast there. While the one with a cloth on his hand is the one wearing a yellow jacket in pauwi na ako.
You should watch Francis Magalona (RIP). He is called The Master Rapper in the Philippines. He basically started the rap genre in the phils. I suggest Kaleidoscope World and Cold Summed Nights 😊
I love how you guys appreciate filipino rappers singers like skusta clee,ryssi,michael and others coz here in the philippines they are not that well appreciated.sadly
Have another hip hop feature friday please. Some recommendations are from the wish bus like pahina by prictag,gloc.9 and jp bacalan and kiyo and Alison shore's urong sulong. Love you both. God bless!!
You are so right Efra. It is about a person that they like but has no courage yet to talk to. So they just stare at that person from afar. I am still listening to it again wether they mean a guy or a girl because we have no gender pronouns. If you are into speed rap you may check out tres sais part 1 and 2 then 187 mobsta. they are pretty long though. I recommend it for your listening pleasure.
YuriDope as you can see is a Filipino rapper my friends and our dear friend here wonders what symbolizes the bandana YuriDope is holding. So the bandana if I'm not mistaken it represents that he's in some sort of a Gang but I do not know what Gang in the Philippines, but you can tell that he has this Gang presence or aura even if you just look at him. :D Hopefully that answers your thought Efra. :D
The guy with the green jacket is the official dj of ex battalion and the drip shirt is one of a design of clothing line called drip own by a member of ex battalion name jon guttierez aka King Badger(3 members of ex battalion have their own clothing line)
For Efra, Titig (Stare), it's like adoring someone from afar. Here's the part 2 of the song, Bahala Ka (It's Up To You), here comes the point where they could careless whatever that someone feels. ruclips.net/video/y2rSc6F0bek/видео.html
the old alphabet in Philippines was Aa Ba Ka Da...its abcd..where A is pronounce as Ah, b is Bah K i dont know where C is but K is kah and D is Dah etc. so mostly percussion is in the language
Please react to the song Kaleidoscope World by the late Philippine Master Rapper himself Francis M... much respect to you both for reacting to Filipino artists..

Great insight!
I've been watching them for a year now and I cant even describe why and I am a hardcore metal guy. This rap group makes me want to be a rapper. Lol
thank you for appreciating filipino artist! im so proud!
pinay here!
the way you pronounce tagalog words is just like you were so fluent speaking on it. kuddos to your channel 😉
I strongly believe that you can also sing and rap at the same time Efra. 💪💪
Go Efra gogogo Efra,expand sing love your rapping
Can't wait! Efra brotha, all you need to do is to try. 💪💪
Same! I hope he adapt the style of Fil rappers or maybe just try it for a change 😭
hell yeah from the pinoy fans
thank you guys for reacting to this. ive been playing this song non stop. lol. hope you like as much as i do :)
"Titig" means stare. Whoop I'm early 😂
Here is my attempt in translating the lyrics for you. My very first attempt.

There is an abundance of hope but short of courage.
So it doesn't look like there is a chance.
I just want to be your Popoy, Basha. (college couple in a Filipino movie)

Staring at you and cannot help watching you from afar

Grabe effort nito nice comment
Thank you bro
Ewan ko kung pano ko bibitbitin
Translation:
I don’t know how I can keep carrying this torch for you coz just staring is not enough.(oh)
I don’t want to keep it in but looks like I can’t even bring it up.
And you might just snub me and not notice.
Not enough even when drinking empi (emperador brandy) and gin
Courage isn’t there, where can I borrow some
Even if I get drunk, what’s the point if I’m still a coward when I wake up
How will they come with, if I don’t invite
How can I win if I don’t place the bet
Sometimes I think, maybe don’t (ie why bother)
But my mind changes after a bit
And too much hope, lacking confidence
Is why, looks like chances are fading (chance)
All I want is to be your Popoy, Basha
That’s my long time fantasy
Chorus
For a while, I’ve been following, gazing and it can’t be avoided
Staring at you from afar and
Puzzling over how
So I can approach but far is the space between
How long will I hang around to get somewhere (literal translation is benefit)
Going about this so when I place my bet, don’t lose face
Just not moving; long time heart’s been beating
My heart is yours just some times it stings
Can’t tell you I’m not fronting
Just don’t know how to attack
Coz I might get shot down
It’s why, tattooed in my brain, don’t even try
It’s all just a dream so slap me
So I’ll wake up; wait for the right time
instead, coz nothing bad with persevering
If you’re for me then I’ll hang around ‘til I make gains(or reap benefits)
However nothing’s happening especially since I’m not doing
Also maybe pupils will turn white if I wait for a miracle (oh)
Not unlikely that you’ll notice me if I wasn’t hiding
I just need to be brave if I want there to be an us
There’s no other way where fear will allow itself to be defeated
Pity me, left with just gazes from afar
I think I need to change coz
Insert chorus
It’s been a long while if you think about it
But you don’t know; who should I blame
If not myself who’s profoundly afraid of getting embarrassed
Treat me as “torpe” (definition: someone too meek to court someone they like), I don’t pay attention to
‘what will be said by the crazies who don’t care about what I’m feeling
I hope you never feel this, my love for you that you don’t know exists
Imprisoned me, you’re beauty is for fantasy
That’s the problem I’m working on, really simple
How can I get you to love (to love)
These eyes that can’t gaze (can’t gaze)
Maybe my strategy will go loco (definition is probably closer to Spanish loco than English crazy)
But I can’t resist making you just mine (just mine)
What attack (translation probably closer to approach) can let me talk to you (talk to you)
Can’t conceive, maybe you’ll be surprised (maybe you’ll be surprised)
When I approach that the tension in my chest is (auto)matic
I just want you to know that ages ago, for the longest time, me to you
Chorus x2
Side note: “Kita” has no direct translation to English or Spanish. I love you if translated directly should be “Ako mahal ikaw” but we never say that because love is given from one person to another to be shared so instead we say “Mahal kita.” Kita roughly means me to you.
