ASIN Cotabato Lyrics (Filipino & English)

Lyric Video for Asin's Cotabato
English Lyrics:

I was born in a place called Cotabato

As troubled as humanity, as chaotic as the world

Because of disagreements in principles and religion,

There was trouble
My hometown, Cotabato, is as troubled as my mind

It doesn't know where it came from,

It doesn't know where it's headed

Brother to brother,

Flesh to flesh,

They are fighting among themselves,

I don't know the cause for the conflict
Why did it becomes so,

The answer to my question

Why did you all fight,

Why did you fight one another?

I will respect your principles,

If you respect me

If you all had just helped each other,

My hometown wouldn't have been troubled.
My birthplace in South Cotabato

I was born into a great conflict

Due to the lack of respect for one another's principles

You all troubled your fellow Filipinos,

Oh what a mess.
I am calling out to you,

Asking for your help

Make way for peace,

For peace in my home

Why is there a need to fight,

When in blood you are brothers

When will you all agree with each other,

When will my land gain its peace?
If I can help,

I will help with all my heart

I offer my guitar,

Use it when there is conflict

If the enemy doesn't have a heart,

Use your heart still

Treat him as a friend

Think of him as a person with a heart,

Just like you
In the place I was born in (why is there trouble)

In South Cotabato (in South Cotabato)

I was born (when will it all end)

Into a great conflict (such trouble)

Because of no respect (when will you all agree)

For the principles of your fellow man (the people)

Fellow Filipinos (fellow filipinos)

Are the ones you are fighting with (why do you oppose them)

Such trouble
I translated the lyrics myself, along with some help from other websites. I am not used to speaking Filipino, however, I hope that I was able to convey the song's meaning with my translation. Thank you! ASIN! FILIPINOS!
