Sponge Cola vocalist Yael Yuzon did an on-the-spot English version of their hit song "Jeepney" in LG G6 launch event held at SM Mega Fashion Hall last Tuesday because “Technically, I’m not allowed to speak in Filipino,” he said.
Check out the original lyrics of “Jeepney” and the song’s on-the-spot English translation below:
I disembarked from a jeepney
Where two of us were once side by side
We were cheek to cheek, we were cheek to cheek, yeah
That's how it was
Your hanky in my pocket
Oh yesterday remains and permeates
Our laughter gives way to the heat we have inside
However right now, there’s no more (there’s no more)
You have gone away, away
I remember all of the nights
Lying down underneath the space
I remember all the nights
Side by side in the rain
Oh the color of your smile and the curls of your hair
Oh the softness of your lips, yeah, oh the softness of your lips
Your shadow from afar, it’s all I ever want to see
To stop me from feeling what it is to be cold inside
Bumaba ako sa jeepney
Kung saan tayo'y dating magkatabi
Magkahalik ang pisngi nating dalawa, nating dalawa
Panyo mo sa aking bulsa
Ang kahapon ay naroon pa rin
Tawa nati’y humahalay sa init nating dalawa
Subalit ngayo’y wala na (wala na)
Ikaw ay lumayo na, lumayo na
Naaalala ko ang mga gabing nakahiga sa ilalim ng kalawakan
Naaalala ko ang mga gabing magkatabi sa ulan
Kulay ng iyong ngiti at tikwas ng iyong buhok
O ang lambot ng iyong labi, ng iyong labi
Kahit anino mo sa malayo ay nais masulyapan agad
Upang mapawi ang lamig
