The Black Eyed Peas "The APL Song"

[TachieBillano]

Original words with translation: "Lapit, mga kaibigan, at makinig kayo." (Come closer, my friends, and listen well.) "Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko." (I've brought news from my homeland.) "Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kuwento ng mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang pinangako." (I want to share the stories of what's happening in the 'Promised Land'.)

The words allude to how Filipino immigrants to the U.S. miss what they left behind, and the years of broken immigrant dreams.

[caroliena]

The translation fyi is this :

Come closer my friends and everyone listen

I brought news from my homeland

I'll tell you how we live and what goes on

From my beloved homeland.

[TehKilar1337]

Well at least he got cared for by Fergie.

[utubeuser1971aok]

I love when older people are portrayed as being worthy of being honored. Everyone needs to care for there family. Granted there are abuse exceptions but it's a shame we wharehouse older people when they are of no use anymore. At least we could improve on the conditions.

[magicianmunar]

Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo

[rx3gundam]

literal translation

lapit mga kaibigan (come near friends)

at makinig kayo (and listen)

ako'y may dala-dalang balita balita galing sa bayan ko (I have a news from my country)

nais kong ipamahagi (I would like to share)

ang mga kwento, ang pangyayari nagaganap sa lupang pinangako (events that are happening in the promised land)

[AndyInsuasti]

What a sad video. But it's so true, the elderly are often forget, no just for their family, but all the people in the society too.

[jayshesteffish]

a very good re-interpretation of the chorus -- converting a very political message to a statement of nostalgia.

[rx3gundam]

[crimpthe3rd]

...? lol dude you retarded? the main language in the philippines is tagalog.... nationality is filipino/pacific islander. what language does ur family speak?

[crimpthe3rd]

...? our main language in the philippines is tagolog. our nationality is filipino(pinoy/pinay) or pacific islander. and every single part of the philippines is tagalog. what the hell does your family speak?

[juniexjun]

not EVERY single part of the philippines speak tagalog. i came from leyte and we don't speak tagalog. we know how to speak it though but we speak our dialect Waray-Waray. not just our province but also other part of the Philippines, such as Cebu and etc...
