doll

doll
roses on my feet
laces on my legs
dresses made for me
and my curly hair
living fantasy,
i have everything
and nothing to share
diamonds on my neck
earrings made of gold
i was made to dance
ballerina pose
what if i’m a doll,
only made of cloth
and i never know
you’re just a toy until
someone picks you up
and whispers
all of your secrets
that you had told no one
i cannot move
when i’m with you
i’m scared to think
you already knew
that i’m just parts
put together by glue
i’m just a doll
until you made me move
roses on my feet
laces on my legs
dresses made for me
but i don’t want it
i know i’m not alive
but i still want something real
i don’t need
diamonds on my neck
earrings made of gold
i was made to dance
in the living room
what if i’m a doll,
and you’re a part
of my soul
you’re just a toy until
someone picks you up
and whispers
all of your secrets
that you had told no one
i cannot move
when i’m with you
i’m scared to think
you already knew
that i’m just parts
put together by glue
i’m just a doll
until you made me move

manika
rosas sa aking paá
sintás sa aking bintî
damít na gawâ sa akin
at sa kulót kong buhók
buhay pantasya,
Ang lahát ay sa akin
walâ akóng maibabahagi pa
brilyante sa aking leég
hikaw na gawâ sa gintô
Pinasayaw akó
nang parang baylarina
paano kung akó’y manikàng,
gawâ lang sa tela
at hindî ko alám
na ika’y laruán lang
hanggáng pupulutin ka
at ibubulóng
ang lahát ng iyóng sikretong
hindî nasabi kahit kanino
Di ako makagaláw
kapág kita’y kasama
Takót kong isiping
alám mo na
na ako’y pirá-pirasóng
pinagdikít-dikít
Akó’y isang manikà lamang
hanggáng akó’y iyong pinagaláw
rosas sa aking paá
sintás sa aking bintî
damít na gawâ sa akin
pero ayaw ko niyán
alám kong hindî akó buháy
pero gustó ko pa rin ng totoó
hindî ko kailangan
brilyante sa aking leég
hikaw na gawâ sa gintô
Pinasayaw akó
sa sala
paano kung manikà akó
at bahagi ka
ng aking káluluwá
laruán ka lang hanggáng
may pupulot sa iyó
at bubulungin
ang lahát ng iyóng sikreto
na hindî mo nasabi kahit kanino
Hindî akó makagaláw
kapág kasama kitá
Natatakot kong isiping
alám mo na
na akó’y pirá-pirasóng
pinagdikít-dikít
Ako’y isáng manikà lamang
hanggáng ako’y iyong pinagaláw
