Madapaka

Parokya Ni Edgar · Edgar, Edgar Musikahan [2002]

Kalimutan muna ang problema

Kalimutan muna ang iba

Sayang lang ang panahon at luha

Sayang lang ang iyong pagluluksa



Tigilan mo na yan pagkat wala ring pupuntahan



Ang buhay ay ganyan, tanggapin mo na lang



Problema ay kasama ng tadhana

Pagkat lahat ito'y sinasadya

Subukan mong sakyan ang pagdudurusa

Ngiti ka lang, magpasalamat ka

Pagkat hindi ka titingala, kapag wala ka sa baba,

Kailangan din kung minsan madapa!
