Cayó’y Caiiñgat

clownNalalapit na ang  malaking palabas
Wika nga’y “The circus show is about to start!”
Isang palabas na halalan ang tawag
The clowns are everywhere “Cayo’y Caiiñgat”

Dati-rati’y ‘di ka nila pinapansin
Ngayo’y bigla na lang ika’y kukumustahin
Biglang naging “concerned” kayo’y pupulungin
Suporta sa halalan sa inyo’y hihingin

Lahat ng tao sa daa’y kakamayan
Lamay sa bawat sulok ay pinupuntahan
Tambay ay bibigyan ng alak at pulutan
Pantaya sa bingo si manang ay bibigyan

Sa ganyang paraan botante’y liligawan
Parang nang-uuto’t gusto kang suhulan
Ganyan kababa kung botante ay tignan
Tingin sa iyo’y uto-utong bayaran

Panunuhol ng payaso sana’y tanggihan
H’wag tanggapin alok na limang-daan
‘di ganyan kamura iyong karangalan
H’wag mong hayaang pagkatao’y yurakan

“Caiiñgat” sa kandidatong lumalapit
Baka siya’y payasong kung ngumiti’y pilit
Nagkukunwaring sa iyo’y may malasakit
“Caiiñgat” kayo’t h’wag magpapagamit

H’wag ng dagdagan payaso sa gobyerno
Kay dami na nila sa Kongreso’t Senado
Maglingkod sa baya’y marangal na mandato
Seryosohin sana gagawing pagboto
