Lyrics
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
Envious of the glimmer of hope
– Ang paglaom sa paglaom
Gives me a break from feeling alone
– Ang pagbati ko ‘ y nag-inusara
Gives me a moment out of the ego
– Give me a minute away ego
I used to feel so invincible
– Gibati nako nga dili kapani paniwala
I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin’ of
– Gibati ko nga adunay usa ka kalibutan nga bili sa damgo sa
Back in the Gasworks, screamin’ the song
– Sa Mga Gasolinahan, singgit sa awit
Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart
– Ang kaanyag lamang sa kabatan-onan ang makapukaw sa akong nagsakit nga kasingkasing
Oh, I feel so dark rememberin’
– Ang dilim dilim remembrance
Oh, my heart, I feel so dark rememberin’
– Oh, ang akong kasingkasing, gibati ko nga ngitngit nga nahinumdum
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin’
– Todo sa bongga: running
Under the billboards, out of the heat
– Ubos sa mga billboard, gikan sa kainit
Somebody’s darling’s on the street tonight
– Ang akong hinigugma diha sa dalan karong gabhiona
Oh, I can’t stop runnin’
– Dili ko mapugngan ang pagdagan
I see the whole town fall
– Nakita ko ang tibuok lungsod
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
(Ooh-ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
– (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I came back home after seven years
– Niuli ko human sa pito ka tuig
Wide awake, tracing tracks of her tears
– Pagmata, pagmata sa iyang mga luha
Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it
– Nagparapit tana sa nars agud magparapit kana
I promised her I’d get her out of the care home
– Misaad ko nga kuhaon nako siya sa balay sa pag-atiman
The place was fallin’ to bits
– Nahulog ang lugar
Understaffed and overruled by callous hands
– Gihapyod – hapyod ug gihapyod-hapyod sa mga kamot
The poor nurse was around the clock
– Ang mga nars sa palibot sa mga orasan
And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart
– Ug ang kaanyag sa mga kabatan onan mibiya sa akong nabuak nga kasingkasing
But it wasn’t hard when you love someone
– Pero dili lalim if love nimo ang isa ka tao
Oh, I stayed all night till you left this life ’cause that’s just love
– Oh, nagpabilin ako sa tibuok gabii hangtud nga ikaw mibiya niini nga kinabuhi tungod kay kana ang gugma lamang
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin’
– Todo sa bongga: running
Under the billboards, out of the heat
– Ubos sa mga billboard, gikan sa kainit
Somebody’s darling’s on the street tonight
– Ang akong hinigugma diha sa dalan karong gabhiona
Oh, I can’t stop runnin’
– Dili ko mapugngan ang pagdagan
I see the whole town fall
– Nakita ko ang tibuok lungsod
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
Above the rain-soaked Garden of Remembrance
– Sa Hardin sa paghandom
Kittywakes etched your initials in the sky
– Ang mga kittywak nagkutkot sa imong mga inisyal sa langit
Oh, I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times
– Oh, nahadlok ako alang niining bakol nga isla ug ang kagubot sa mga panahon
And I’ll hold you in my heart till the day I die
– Huptan ko ikaw sa akong kasingkasing hangtud sa adlaw sa akong kamatayon
Oh
– Oh
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin’
– Todo sa bongga: running
Under the billboards, out of the heat
– Ubos sa mga billboard, gikan sa kainit
Somebody’s darling’s on the street tonight
– Ang akong hinigugma diha sa dalan karong gabhiona
Oh, I can’t stop runnin’
– Dili ko mapugngan ang pagdagan
I see the whole town fall
– Nakita ko ang tibuok lungsod
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
I people-watch on the way back home
– Home _ walkway on the way
(Ooh-ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
– (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh)
