Parokya Ni Edgar – Buloy (Official Music Video)

By AIKEN ROI JOSHUA QUIDATO

“Buloy” is a song by the Filipino rock band Parokya ni Edgar. The song tells the story of a young boy named Buloy who is living a difficult life. The lyrics depict the struggles that he faces, including poverty, hunger, and a lack of access to education.The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it describes the desperation that Buloy feels: “Buloy, muntik nang maabutan ng gutom / Buloy, ilang beses nang nabuhay sa patayan / Buloy, hindi maintindihan kung bakit walang nagmamahal / Buloy, patuloy pa rin siyang lumalaban.”

In English, this translates to: “Buloy, almost overtaken by hunger / Buloy, has already survived several close brushes with death / Buloy, can’t understand why no one loves him / Buloy, still continues to fight.”The song is a powerful commentary on the harsh realities of life for many Filipinos, particularly those who live in poverty. It encourages listeners to have empathy and compassion for those who are struggling, and to work towards creating a more just and equitable society.
