Kahit Konti — Even A Bit Space
Sung by Florante
Song in Filipino Composed by Gary Granada
Translated to English by Antonio Ingles, Jr.
Maari bang, maari bang umusog-usog ng konti
Hati-hati dahil masyadong masikip ang upuan
At kung iyong kausapin, ako nama’y hindi maselan
At payag matabihan, umusog lang, umusog ng konti
May I ask a favor, just move even a bit space for me
Because the space is so tight, so overcrowded
And if you request me to move,
I’ll be tolerant enough to give way
And let go of my personal space for you to squeeze through
Maari bang, maari bang umusog-usog ng konti
Madadaan sa usapan ang maaring pag-awayan
Sakali mang mayro’n kang napapansin, sabihin lang
At kung makatuwiran ako’y uusog din kahit konti
May I ask a favor, just move even a bit space for me
We can talk this problem over instead of fighting
Whenever you notice something, just tell me
Because if it is reasonable, then I will move even a bit space
Hindi naman buong-buo ang hinihiling ko sa iyo
Ngunit kahit kapiraso mano’y magkasundo tayo
Iba’t-iba ang katuwiran ng tao sa lipunan
Ngunit ang kailangan lang tayo’y huwag magtulakan
I do not ask for more from you
Can we both agree even a bit
People in the society have different views
All we need is to never push each other
O kayraming suliranin, oras-oras dumarating
Dahil di kayang lutasin hindi na rin pinapansin
Subalit kung tutuusin, iisa ang dahilan
Kaibigan, ayaw nilang umusog ng kahit konti
There are so many problems, they arrive every hour
Because we cannot solve any problem,
we are just ignoring it
But if you just think about it, there is only one reason why
My friend, they refuse to move even a bit space
At kung iyong kausapin, ako nama’y hindi maselan
At payag matabihan umusog lang kahit konti
And if you request me to move,
I’ll be tolerant enough to give way
And let go of my personal space for you to squeeze through
