Day 5: Lyrics of your current mood.

What is
 "Basta't meron kang plano 
May kasama
Konting kulay
Sarap ng buhay
Lahat gumagaan
Anumang pangarap
Kahit gaano man kahirap
Konting sikap maaabot mo 'yan
Anumang pagsubok sa buhay
'Pag meron kang plano get a little peace of mind
Basta merong plano sa buhay
Malalampasan mo" 
by Bamboo Mañalac?

Translation:
As long as you have a plan
With someone
With a little bit of color
Life becomes better
Everything feels lighter
Whatever your aspiration
No matter how difficult
With a bit of hard work, you will reach it
Whatever your problems in life
If you have a plan (get a little peace of mind)
As long as you have a plan in life
You will get though it
 

I feel hopeful. I really do. I think that even though I have a lot of work to do and even though I have a few problems in life, I feel that I can overcome all of them as long as I have a plan. 

Bamboo Mañalac is one of my favorite Filipino artist. He writes very clever lyrics. This particular song is actually for a life insurance commercial, but the lyrics of the song is very universal. I think the best part of this song is when he inserted the line "get a little peace of mind" between the Tagalog words. Genius.
