Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran by Asin

 



Wala ka bang napapansin sa iyong kapaligiran?

Kay dumi na ng hangin, pati na ilog natin

Refrain

Hindi na masama and pag-unlad

at malayu-layo na rin ang ating narating

Ngunit masdan mo ang tubig nation sa dagat 

Dati'y klay asul ngayo'y naging itim

Ang mga duming ating ikinalat sa hangin

Sa langit huwag na nating paabutin

Upang kung tayo'y pumanaw man, sariwang hanign

Sa langit matitikman

Referain 2

Mayron lang aking hinihiling 

Sa aking pagpanaw sana ay tag-ulan

Gitara ko ay aking dadalhin

Upang sa ulap nalang tayo magkantahan

Ang mga batang ngayon lang isinilang

May hangin pa kayang matitikman?

May mga ilog pa kayang lalanguyan?

Refrain 3

Bakit di natin pag-isipan

Ang nangyayari sa ating kapaligiran

Hindi na masama ang pag-unlad

Kung hindi nakakasira ng kalikasan

Darating ang panahon mga ibong gala

Ay wala nang madadapuan

Masdan mo ang mga punong dati kay tatag

Ngayo'y namamatay dahil sa ting kalokohan

Refrain 4

Lahat ng bagay na narito sa lupa

Biyayang galing sa Diyos kahit nong ika'y wala pa 

Iingatan at wag nang sirain pa

Pagkat pag Kanyang binawi tayo'y mawawala na

Repeat Referain 2

Mayron lang aking hinihiling 

Sa aking pagpanaw sana ay tag-ulan

Gitara ko ay aking dadalhin

Upang sa ulap nalang tayo magkantahan

Ang mga batang ngayon lang isinilang

May hangin pa kayang matitikman?

May mga ilog pa kayang lalanguyan?
