Bakit Ka Ba Mahihiya? (w/english - Why Be Ashamed? -)

Bakit mo ikinahihiya?
kung ikaw ay isang drayber, o mekaniko
elektrisyan, o tindera, tindero
tagapagluto, o magsasaka.

Bakit mo ikinahihiya?
kung ang iyong suot
ay hindi de kurbata
o hindi mataas ang takong.

Kaibigan
taas noo kang maglakad
sapagkat ang kaning ipinapakain mo
sa iyong pamilya
ay hindi galing sa limos
o sa pagnanakaw
o sa awa ng iba.

english-Why Be Ashamed?

Why be ashamed
if you are just a driver, or a mechanic
an electrician, or a vendor
a cook, or a farmer?

Why be ashamed
if you do not wear neckties
or high heeled shoes
when going to work?

My friend
walk with pride
because the rice you buy for your family
does not come from begging alms
or from stealing.
