Brownout? Brownout.


Himbing ng tulog ay biglang naputol
Panaginip kong langit na aking hinahabol
Nawala, naglaho nang ako'y nangatol
Namatay ang electric, SHET, power interruption.

Lakas maka-avatar nitong aming kuryente.
Biglang nawawala tuwing ikaw ay kumportable.
Sa iyong pagtulog tiyak na mapupukaw.
Sa init na dala ng pagkawala nitong kuryente.

Pumutok, sumabog karaniwang dahilan.
Linyang naputol dinaig pa ang pagmamahalan.
Nanigas, nakuryente, inosenteng ibon.
Nako, talaga, nakakainis, ako'y bumangon.


English Version

My slumber was cut short with a jolt
A sky-bound dream, I did exalt
But now it's gone, vanished in a bolt
Electricity's death, SHET, a power halt.


Power outages, avatars of our current
Comfort shatters when they abruptly recur
They'll rouse you from your slumber for sure
With the heat that's generated by the power's lure.


Explosions and blowouts reasons not hard to find
Power lines, more fragile than love, bind
Electricity shocks, innocent birds confined
Honestly, it's annoying, my mind rewinds.


The power interruption not only disrupts my dreams,
But also my mood and daily schemes.
I can't watch TV or charge my phone, it seems.
The heat is caused by the lack of electricity, it beams.
