Even A Bit Space

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
