Upuan [Seat] [English translation]
Upuan [Seat] [English translation]
you who are sitting down
why don't you try standing up
you might see, and you might see
my true predicament
its like this...
Verse 1:
Excuse me, are you inside that
huge house and backyard
surrounded by tall walls
and expensive cars in a line
guards that keep whispering and whispering
nobody's getting married but a lot of people are in barongs (suits)
the roof wont be damaged even if the rain pours hard
plates and spoons that don't know what left-over rice is
and rice as white as a box of milk
and even if it's not christmas there is ham on the table
it probably feels great to live in a house like that
they also say that this is where you can find
the person who owns a seat
when there is an opportunity it is fought over
that's why that person never lets go of it
if i see him i will shout
Chorus
you who are sitting down
why don't you try standing up
you might see, and you might see
my true predicament
Verse 2
Excuse me
to the person who is sitting down
did you know our cup of rice is not full?
the walls of our house are made of cheap roof material
at night it is so hot you could melt ice
that we cant afford to buy for our drinks
boiled water in an old, dirty teapot
using driftwood from the creek
that serves as our kitchen, in the morning, it's our bathroom
my mother's treasure is a soup pan
which is used only when my dad gets his pay
but its still insufficient
dried herring and salt with rice
one dollar has to be fit for a day
i don't know if there are just a lot of barriers
or if the walls are too high
or if you're just pretending to be blind
even with all your money
no doctor can open your eyes
so...
don't be so obvious
stones in the sky
if you are hit don't be mad
stones in the sky
the one who is hit
don't be so obvious
don't be so obvious
