Penge Naman Ako N'Yan Translation

by The Itchyworms (EN. Gimme Some of That)

I'm bored so I'm going to translate some OPM songs that don't have official English translations and vice versa. I put my playlist on shuffle and got this one. I know that personally that it feels a little weird or even unnecessary to do stuff like this but I guess if someone wants it for whatever reason like if they're learning the language or just want to find new songs they can use this.

Gimme Some of That

Gimme some of that My day was bad It felt like it suddenly got filled with bad luck

I need to forget The day that passed Distract me because I need it[1]

Whatever you're drinking Pass it over I'm getting jealous Do it quickly and open it up And our get-together would get good[2]

Gimme some of that Gimme some of that Gimme some of that Gimme some of that

We're smiling again That's what it always should be Let's not give a chance to sadness

This doesn't happen often And we're going to go back To the cruel world of hardships

Whatever you're drinking Pass it over I'm getting jealous Do it quickly and open it up And our get-together would get good

Gimme some of that Gimme some of that Gimme some of that Gimme some of that

Take it easy Take it easy

Whatever you're drinking Pass it over I'm getting jealous Do it quickly and open it up And our get-together would get good

Gimme some of that Gimme some of that Gimme some of that Gimme some of that Gimme some of that (Gimme some of that) Gimme some of that (Gimme some of that) Gimme some of that (Gimme some of that) Gimme some of that (Gimme some of that)

Alternate Translations and Additional Context

Entertain me because I need it - I didn't use this because it doesn't have the same feeling of what the actual lyric was saying and it feels a little off but this would be the more literal translation for the lyric.

And our friendship/relationship would get good - I believe that the actual song was trying to convey the translation I used but it could also be alternatively read as this.

Original Lyrics

Penge naman ako nyan Ang pangit ng araw ko Parang biglang napuno ng kamalasan

Kelangang malimutan Ang araw na dumaan Libangin mo ako kasi kailangan

Kung ano man yang iniinom mo Ipasa mo naiinggit ako Bilisan mo at buksan mo na 'yan At gaganda ang ating samahan

Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan

Nakangiti na naman Dapat ay laging ganyan Huwag nating pagbibigyan ang kalungkutan

Minsan-minsan lang ito At babalik rin tayo Sa malupit na mundo ng kahirapan

Kung ano man yang iniinom mo Ipasa mo naiinggit ako Bilisan mo at buksan mo na 'yan At gaganda ang ating samahan

Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan

Dahan dahan lang Dahan dahan lang

Kung ano man yang iniinom mo Ipasa mo naiinggit ako Bilisan mo at buksan mo na 'yan At gaganda ang ating samahan

Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan Penge naman ako nyan (penge naman ako nyan) Penge naman ako nyan (penge naman ako nyan) Penge naman ako nyan (penge naman ako nyan) Penge naman ako nyan

Beer (lyrics translation)

by Itchyworms

Nais kong magpakalasing

Dahil wala ka na

Nakatingin sa salamin

At nag-iisa

I want to get drunk

Now that you're gone

I'm staring at the mirror

All alone

Nakatanim pa rin ang *gumamelang binalik mo sa 'kin

Nang tayo'y maghiwalay

Ito'y katulad ng damdamin ko kahit buhusan mo ng beer

Ayaw pang mamatay

The *flower you've sent back when we broke up

Is still planted

It's like my feelings that wouldn't die

Even when drenched in beer

Giliw, 'wag mo sanang limutin

Ang mga araw na hindi sana naglaho

Mga anak at bahay nating pinaplano

Lahat ng ito'y nawala no'ng iniwan mo 'ko

Kaya ngayon

Dear, please don't forget

The days that wouldn't have vanished

Kids and house that we were planning

All of these disappeared when you left me

So now

Ibuhos na ang beer sa aking lalamunan

Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan

Bawat patak, anong sarap

Ano ba talaga'ng mas gusto ko?

Ang beer na 'to o ang pag-ibig mo?

Pour the beer down my throat

To drown my struggling heart

Every drop, what a taste

Just what is it that I really want?

This beer or your love?

Nais kong magpakasabog

Dahil olats ako

Kahit ano, hihithitin

Kahit tambutso

I want to get wasted

Because I'm such a loser

Anything, I'd huff

Even an engine pipe

Kukuha 'ko ng beer, at ipapakulo sa kaldero't

Lalanghapin ang usok nito

Lahat ay aking gagawin upang hindi ko na isiping

Nag-iisa na ako

I'll get beer and boil it in a pot

And breathe the steam in

I'll do everything so I'll no longer think that

Now I am alone

Ibuhos na ang beer sa aking lalamunan

Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan

Bawat patak, anong sarap

Ano ba talaga'ng mas gusto ko?

Ang beer na 'to o ang pag-ibig mo?

Pour the beer down my throat

To drown my struggling heart

Every drop, what a taste

Just what is it that I really want?

This beer or your love?

Giliw, 'wag mo sanang limutin

Ang mga araw na hindi sana naglaho

Mga anak at bahay nating pinaplano

Lahat ng ito'y nawala no'ng iniwan mo 'ko

Kaya ngayon

Dear, please don't forget

The days that wouldn't have vanished

Kids and house that we were planning

All of these disappeared when you left me

So now

Ibuhos na ang beer sa aking lalamunan

Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan

Bawat patak, anong sarap

Ano ba talaga'ng mas gusto ko?

Ang beer na 'to, ang beer na 'to

Ang beer na 'to o ang pag-ibig mo?

Pour the beer down my throat

To drown my struggling heart

Every drop, what a taste

Just what is it that I really want?

This beer, this beer

This beer or your love?

*the flower "gumamela" in the song is actually hibiscus

You know what, fuck it

OPM and P-Pop appreciation post! Here's some songs from the 2020s that I think should get more attention especially from Filipinos. Some of these songs are recent and some are from a few years ago. Some artists are popular and some are niche. Some are their more famous songs while others are deep cuts. Here's just some I really like, feel free to add more!

Puede Ba by Maymay Entrata feat. Viktoria - Jazzy and sexy party song that you could dance to, also the music video is just everything to me

flashing lights warning and quick camera movements

Babala by Yeng Constantino - Another jazzy song but more just a vibe about a woman dealing with a toxic person and the rumors they spread about her

added context: "Marites" is a name often given to local town gossipers or chismosas

cw for some violence but they're looney tunes level stuff

'SSP (Saksak Sa Puso) by VXON - P-Pop song about a betrayal that leads to committing a murder/being murdered

cw for blood, graphic violence, and on-screen death, and warning for flashing lights, and fast camera movements/changes

Guillotine Drops by Bita and the Botflies - Creepy chill vibes on a rock song about a woman accused of witchcraft trying to prove her innocence

cw for implied death/execution and beheading obv

Waiting For The End To Start by the Itchy Worms - Apocalyptic edgy song full of vibes made sometime during the pandemic. It definitely sounds like it.

cw for skulls and a lot of death imagery

Wake Me Up by One Click Straight - English alternative/indie rock song with that lost kid that just wants to find himself kinda beat, and again, the vibes are good

flashing lights warning and fast camera movements/changes

Santigwar by dwta - cutesy love song about doing witchcraft and it's in Bikolano too :D

11 years ago today I designed marketing materials for "Biodiversity ROCKS", a fundraising event for the Haribon Foundation. It was my first campaign designed at this scale at Haribon, which required more than a dozen social media posts, a logo, posters of various sizes, a concert ticket design, and stage banners. Being at the concert was a real treat after all that work. Since then I've designed hundreds of materials for the environmental movement in the Philippines, and still do to this day. https://www.behance.net/gallery/21310325/Biodiversity-ROCKS

࣪ . ִֶָ๋ KINICH: ❛ it's not the alcohol, i swear! ❜ ♡

pairing: kinich x reader (uses she/her) synopsis: kinich never touches alcohol. the one night he does, he has a very pleasant secret to spill. banner artist: @/Lion_2929 on twitter/x !! wordcount: 1.7k words warnings: lots of alcohol consumption, kinda crack, kinich is drunk the way i feel like he'd be like if he was drunk (talkative and childish) cho's notes: heavily inspired by beer by the itchyworms. hihi happy reads!

Maybe it was a bad idea to go to this party.

“Believe me! I AM the hydro archon!” mualani cried, weakly shoving at chasca’s shoulder.

Definitely a bad idea.

The ignited torches set a cozy atmosphere into the weary inn, the instruments being strung by performers and high spirits of the natlanese only made it more comforting. It was a cold night out, and you had been invited earlier in the day to a party to celebrate the victory of Natlan over the abyss, a week after the intense battle.

Mualani was the one who sent you the invitation, giving another one to kinich when your group were lounging together. kachina threw a small tantrum, whining: “why can’t I go?” making mualani sigh, patting the small child on the head, “sorry kachina, it’s strictly an adult party. And i mean it! I really can’t sneak you in this time.” “I can’t believe they’d send a kid to war, but not to a grown up party.”

Mualani mentioned there would be alcohol, which made your eyes immediately dart to kinich, your close friend along with the other two. You knew he absolutely despised alcohol and he didn’t want to be anywhere near it, given his past surrounding the vice. You noticed how his shoulders had slightly tensed, only to slowly relax again. 

“So? Are you guys going~?” mualani coed, trying to convince the both of you to attend.

“I dont know.. I don’t think it’d be fair if only the both of us will-”

“I’ll be there.” You and mualani’s jaw immediately hang, looking at the stone-cold kinich absolutely bewildered. You quickly composed yourself as kinich raised his brow at you, almost saying ‘do you want me to change my mind?’ with his expression alone.

“A-Alright. We’ll be there.”

It was supposed to be a calm party, with only a few drinks. 

You only indulged in a glass or two, to join in on the festivities and to really be in the spirits of the party. You were barely tipsy, just a bit flushed with slightly fuzzy thoughts.

Mualani had almost gulped down 4 bottles of beer on her own, thinking and speaking had become one action to her. But that was normal. Mualani was known as the party girl anyway, it was her who carried the mood and laughter, even when she wasn’t making sense. What wasn’t normal, was when kinich decided to become drunk too.

“You.. are not the hydro archon. Stop.. *hic* disrespecting Fontainians.” He mumbled grumpily, slamming his glass onto the wood table with a thud. It was a rare sight; Kinich with his hair a little messier, with rosy cheeks and sleepy eyes. You felt your heart beating a little harder at the sight.

You knew you liked kinich, but there was never a perfect opportunity to confess it. And in the end, you had just decided to keep all the sappy feelings to yourself, not wanting to ruin the perfect friendship the both of you shared.

It caught everyone off guard, when kinich had asked for a taller glass of cold beer after the initial toast. Then he ordered another one, then another.. Then some more. 

“But I am! It came to me in a dream!” Mualani continued crying, drunk-stupid tears flowing down her face, frantically turning to him.

“Well i dreamt that i had normal friends, do you think i do?” he spat bitterly, looking at her with narrowed eyes. Kinich was a bit meaner while he was drunk, but he didn’t mean it. 

Again, It was supposed to be a calm party, with only a few drinks. 

But mualani started trying to turn one of the tables into a surfboard, citlali encouraged her behavior and was even trying to show her ‘how to do it properly’, chasca was nowhere to be found, and kinich was about to release ajaw. The atmosphere was still borderline calm, but if the circus continued to unfold you knew it wouldn’t end well.

You quickly grabbed kinich’s wrist before he could do anything, and suggested a walk. “We do not need ajaw making things worse. Let’s go take a breather.” Kinich’s eyes seemed to fill with some sort of determination for a second, before going back to being expressionless. He took one last bottle of beer with him, and followed your steps.

You brought him out of the weary inn, the cold atmosphere stinging your skin for a moment— It was a beautiful night. The moon was suspended high into the sky, illuminating in its beautiful full circle. with only a few clouds around. It was the perfect night to greet after a party. You walked with kinich out of the stadium, following a random path of pavement.

“I didn’t expect you’d want to get drunk tonight kinich.” You looked at him with a small smile, and admired the new side of him no one really knew.

“Do I always come off boring and lame to you?—” he sighed, bringing the bottle close and popping the cork off with his fingers easily. A subtle flex of his strength. “—I just.. wanted to try something different.” he said, picking his words carefully.

Something about kinich was different.

“Are you alright? You seem.. A little out of it.” you mumbled. He looked like he was avoiding something, or his head was filled with thoughts he so badly wanted to address. His breathing was heavier, his hands were trying to find purpose, and he avoided your eyes. 

“I-i’m fine. Just drunk. What’s the big deal?” he mumbled, still apprehensive and shuffled his steps. “..Just drunk, nothing more. Nothing less. Not hiding anything. Hiding nothing at all.”

“Okay okay. Fine.” 

You decided to fall silent, and let your eyes linger in the nature around you; Your heart ached a little. The trees slightly swayed to faint music, chatter, and crickets. The stars twinkled high above your heads and it was almost the perfect night. One more thing was missing: Kinich, but sober. 

in your mind, the night would've been perfect, if kinich loved you too.

“I can do this.” you turned your head to the dark-haired boozer next to you talking to himself, only to see him drinking the large bottle whole. “ki-kinich! slow down!” You tried to snatch the vessel out of his grasp, but he only turned his head until it quickly ran half-empty, a loud gulp coming from his throat.

He stopped in his tracks and brought the bottle off of his mouth, and wiped the extra carbonation off of his shiny lips and let out a hiccup before meeting your eyes.

“Y/n. I like you.” 

“Huh?”

“I like you. Like.. the romantic kind of like. Not the friend kind of like, I mean that I really want to be your boyfriend, kind of like.”

Kinich was a lot more talkative while he was drunk, but you prayed he wasn't a joker too.

Your mind fell silent, running out of words to say. You could suddenly hear your heart beat in your ears, and feel like the world shrunk around the both of you. ‘he's just drunk-'

“And before you say anything.. No. it’s not *hic* the beer. It’s not the alcohol. In fact, i-it’s the beer that’s helping me say everything right now. And if you decide to reject me right now, it’s *hic* also what’s going to make me forget this i-in the morning. Which is why i’m *hic*  drinking so m-much.”

He looked so serious, you knew he truly meant his words. His deep emerald eyes stared right into your soul, you almost felt violated. A deep heat rushed to your face, but you were still out of words.

You tried to speak. “B-but.. How? I mean. You never seemed to take interest in me. I thought-”

Kinich quickly takes the bottle back to lips, drinking down the rest and tossing the bottle to the side, burying it into the tall grass. He breathes out a ‘ha!’ sound before his liquid courage started speaking for him again:

“Never took interest in you!? All I ever do is stare at you, *hic* and listen to your stories, and br-briing you fruit, and help you whenever *hic* you break something! All free of charge! And I am a man of mora! Its literally my ancient name!” he whined; it was so unlike him. He was always so composed, mature. He had transformed into a whiny child throwing a fit in 5 bottles of alcohol.

“I’ve always wanted to tell you, but it was you who never seemed interested.” tears started pooling in his lower eyelids, and you feel a sense of panic combining into the butterflies causing a frenzy inside of you.

“Y-you always seemed to *hic* stiff up when i-i tried to compliment you, or you’d always go to other people when you wanted to *hic* ask for an opinion on how you looked or what you should wear. I have opinions too!” tears started streaming down his face. You quickly take his arm and put it over your shoulders, supporting him before he’d drop face-down into the dirt.

“Okay okay! I’m sorry i never asked for your opinion!”

“A-and you always gave a forehead kiss goodnight to kachina and mualani during sleepovers. Why did i never get one!”

“B-because i thought you didn’t want one!”

“Well I did! I really, *hic* really did!” 

“okay i’m sorry please stop crying now!” your free hand reaches out to wipe a tear off of his heated face, before your lips planted a quick kiss on his skin. “Can that make up for it for now?”

His cheeks get impossibly rosier, and he thinks to himself, before humming. “...mhm.” his tears slowly coming to a stop, until he's just snifling.

an awkward silence fell between the both of you, as you continued walking down the path. your face still hot, your trying to piece every memory of kinich and you together, trying to see a different angle where he was trying to show you his affections.

“Wait..” his eyes look away from you, and its almost like he tried to piece together a jigsaw puzzle in his head. Like a lightbulb had turned on, he turned back to you with his eyes livelier than they’ve ever been before, a sparkle appearing back into his gradient eyes.

“So do you like me back?” he mumbled meekly, like he tried to hide while asking.

“I do. I really, really do.”
