Black Heels (to the tune of Blue Jeans)



Been listening to this cover song of Blue Jeans by Rocksteddy from my phone. The song very well captures the student life. But many of the collegiate struggle also resonates that of the working class. I soo can relate to the song. From the profound desire to have a theme song as a Makati girl (and out of boredom yesterday), i revised the lyrics of Blue Jeans to fit that of a working class. :) 'Hope you like it. Musical accompaniment at the bottom.

Black Heels (Makati girl version) 
To the tune of Blue Jeans by Rocksteddy 
(original by Apo Hiking Society).

Nandirito kami ngayon
Nagsusumikap sa araw-araw
Kayod nang kayod hanggang sa mapagod
Maagapan ang natatanaw
Paminsan-minsan ay naglalaro
Pag-ibig lang ang ‘di ginagawang biro
Kung sa tuksuhan lang, hindi pahuhuli
Kinabukasan ay tinatabi

INTERLUDE
Paminsan-minsan ay dinudugo
Sakit sa puso ay hindi maitago
Ngunit tuloy pa rin, hindi pinapansin
Ang kabuhayan ay intindihin
 
INTERLUDE
I

(Black heels)
Alam mo ba ano ang ibig sabihin ng ating pagsisikap sa trabaho?
(Black heels)
 
Ba’t ‘di na lang iwanan ang opisina at sama-sama tayong magwala?
Ngunit ang kalusugan daw ay kayamanan
‘Wag daw basta’t itapon at pababayaan
Kaya magworkout tayo habang may panahon at
Magsikap at mag-ipon tayo ng karanasan

II
(Black heels)

Sige, sige, sige kayod sa opisina at balang araw makikita n’yo

(Black heels)

Pagkatapos ng iyong pagsisikap, ‘di ka rin mai-increasan sa  trabaho
Ang mga bossing na nagmamarunong sa buhay
Huwag sana silang makialam sa ‘king buhay
Anong maabutan pagkauwi ng bahay.
Huwag nang isipin at baka mabadtrip ka pa


CHORUS 


Kay tagal-tagal ko nang nakablack heels
Tignan mo, kalyo na’ng aking paa, yeah!
Kung akala mo ako ay asenso na
Hindi pa rin
Kay tagal-tagal ko nang nakablack heels
Tignan mo, kalyo na’ng aking paa, yeah!
Kung akala mo ako ay asenso na
Hindi pa rin
 
[Repeat II]

(Black heels) [4x]

[Repeat I]

(Black heels) Ahh… [4x]
