'''The Apl song''' is a song which is made by the Black Eyed Peas. |
|||
The song is based on the Black Eyed Pea, Apl.de.ap's ([[Allen Pineda]]) life in the Philippines. It samples heavily from the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] "[[Venice Queen]]", which apl.de.ap partially produced. |
|||
Its accompanying video, which reached number one in the Philippines, with its cameo appearances by fellow Fil-Ams, Dante Basco, Chad Hugo and Abe Pagtama, is a touching tribute to the Filipinos who fought for the U.S. in World War II. |

The Apl Song Lyrics |
|||
[Fergie] |
|||
La-la la la la-la la la la la-la la, la la la lala la la la la la |
|||
[Chorus in Tagalog] |
|||
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo (Listen up, y'all) |
|||
Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko (Listen closely, y'all) |
|||
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento |
|||
Ng mga pangyayaring nagaganap |
|||
Sa lupang pinangako |
|||
[English Translation:] |
|||
Come closer, my friends, and listen |
|||
I bring news from my homeland |
|||
I want to tell you stories |
|||
Of the goings on in the promised land |
|||
[Verse one, Apl.De.Ap] |
|||
Every place got a ghetto this my version |
|||
Check it out... |
|||
Listen closely y'all, I got a story to tell |
|||
A version of my ghetto where life felt for real |
|||
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven |
|||
God gave me the grace amazin' ways of living |
|||
How would you feel if you had to catch a meal? |
|||
Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in. |
|||
Having to pump the water outta the ground |
|||
The way we put it down utilizing what is around |
|||
Like land for farming, river for fishing |
|||
Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can |
|||
We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin' |
|||
That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland |
|||
[Chorus] |
|||
[Verse two, Apl.De.Ap] |
|||
Yo, its been a while but... |
|||
I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on |
|||
Man it feels good to be back at home |
|||
And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone |
|||
I was fourteen when I first left Philippines |
|||
I've been away half my life, but it felt like a dream |
|||
To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal |
|||
Man, I felt complete, my emotions I feel |
|||
Now life has changed for me in the U.S |
|||
But back at home man, life was a mess... |
|||
I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down |
|||
On your knees, oh brother I wish I could have helped you out... |
|||
[Chorus] |
|||
help me, help me, help me... |

The Tagalog lyrics of Black Eyed Peas' "The Apl Song" |
|||
is based on "Balita", one of Asin's songs. |
|||
Asin (sometimes spelled ASIN, in all capital letters) |
|||
is a Pinoy rock and folk rock band from the Philippines. |
|||
They were formed during the 1970s |
|||
and originally known as Salt of the Earth |
|||
Asin wrote lyrics that hoped for peace |
|||
and a better environment in Mindanao. |
|||
The social themes are reflected in |
|||
the Black Eyed Peas's music. |
|||
CHORUS 1 |
|||
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo |
|||
Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko |
|||
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento |
|||
At mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang ipinangako |
|||
Ang lupang pinanggalingan ko'y may bahid ng dugo |
|||
May mga lorong 'di makalipad na sa hawlang ginto |
|||
May mga punong walang dahon, mga pusong 'di makakibo |
|||
Sa mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang ipinangako |
|||
Mula nang makita ko ang lupang ito |
|||
Nakita ko rin ang munting apoy sa puso ng tao |
|||
Ginatungan ng mga kabulukan hanggang sa lumago |
|||
Ngayon ang puso'y may takot sa lupang ipinangako |
|||
[Repeat CHORUS 1] |
|||
Dati-rati'y ang mga bukid ay kulay ginto |
|||
Dati-rati'y ang mga ibon 'sing laya ng tao |
|||
Dati-rati ay katahimikan ang musikang nagpapatulog |
|||
Sa mga batang walang muwang sa mundo |
|||
Ngayon ang lupang ipinangako ay nagsusumamo |
|||
Patakan n'yo ng luha ang apoy sa kanyang puso |
|||
Dinggin n'yo ang mga sigaw ng mga puso |
|||
Ng taong una n'yong dadamhing kabilang sa inyo |
|||
CHORUS 2 |
|||
Duul mga kaigsuunan nugpaminaw kamo |
|||
Duna ko'y dala nga mga balita gikan sa banwa ko |
|||
Gusto ko nga ipahibalo ang mga istorya |
|||
Nga nagagahitabu sa banwagisa na 'to |
