may mga sariling gimik at kanya-kanyang hangad sa buhay…
they rose from the end of the battle
the battle of its kind, of same goal
bloodless war, thousand spectators
endless screams, calling their names.
‘wag kang matakot ‘di mo ba alam nandito lang ako sa iyong tabi,
‘di kita pababayaan kailanman…
four heroes with a mission
to save the earth from evil forces
with their ultraelectromagnetic powers
and their great talent and skills.
hanggang sa dulo ng mundo, hanggang maubos ang ubo
hanggang gumulong ang luha, hanggang mahulog ang tala…
he is the backman, the beatle, the hyperactive
has the most weapon among them
with a stick as a trigger,
every enemy will perish in just one beat.
kung may problema ka, magsuot ng maskara
takpan ang yong mata, buong mundo’y mag-iiba…
he is the leftman, low note specialist, the energetic
unlike the other three, his hair never evolve,
with his four huge strings as his punisher,
bad creatures will pop their brains out of its shell
maselang bahaghari, sa aking isipan
‘wag kang mabahala, ‘di kita malilimutan…
he is the rightman, feedback master, the electric
the producer of noise, the consumer of cigarette.
the killing machine is his strings and hi-tech gadget
every unwanted elements will surely eliminated.
o, d’yos ko, ano ba naman ito,
‘di ba t@ng-ina, nagmukha akong tanga…
he is the frontman, vox expert, the fantastic
the leader of the force, the mastermind of the plan
with the weapon as his rightman, but the most powerful one
in addition to his voice, evil invaders will vanish together with their clan.
pinilit kong iahon ka,
ngunit ayaw mo namang sumama…
while those four beatles busy protecting the universe,
our heroes are here guarding the earth
fighting till the end, saving us till the last drop of their sweat,
till the last strand of their breath.
(but we, the people, are the first to forget their bravery…)
lahat ng pangarap ko’y bigla lang natunaw,
sa panaginip na lang pala kita maisasayaw…
but like all heroes, they’re gone
like the quietude of poe and lennon
like the death of jesus and superman
after more than a decade of saving the planet, they left us and gone.
At ngayon, ‘di pa rin alam, kung ba’t tayo nandito
Pwede bang itigil muna, ang pag-ikot ng mundo…
but…
they’re back with their own evil-killer league
with the same mission, with their own respective powers
they’re still protecting us, but not as powerful as it was
they’re still there, and humanities could barely remember.
Kaytagal ko nang naghintay, at nagsunog ng kilay
Ngayon ay masasabi ko na matamis ang tagumpay…sa wakas…
