The "bato-bato sa langit" part is based on a Tagalog proverb. The whole proverb is, "Bato-bato sa langit, kung tamaan huwag magagalit." Proper translation is "If a stone thrown upwards/to the sky hits you, don't take offense." It talks about a criticism that's not directed to someone specific (stone thrown to the sky), if you feel that that criticism is directed to you, you shouldn't be offended. In this song they changed the second part of the proverb to "huwag kang masyadong halata" which is translated to "don't be too obvious". Meaning, don't make it too obvious that you know you're being criticized indirectly/don't make it too obvious that you're offended for being criticized indirectly because that would be like admitting that you're guilty.
He addresses political&social issues in his songs a lot and I think they're all so heartbreaking and beautiful. This one in particular calls on people seated in govt office. Poverty is a reality for majority of Filipinos and it's bittersweet that it gets immortalized like this. You don't have to react to them, but if you can, please listen to (and check translations đ ) Lando and Magda. Both really cool commentaries.
Gloc 9 loves to tackle important issues in Philippine society. These are my top 3 songs of Gloc 9. "UPUAN" or "the Seat" talks about poverty and social structure in the Philippines wherein power is concentrated to very few people. They are the powerful. . The most privileged. While the ordinary people are being left behind with almost nothing. The Seat refers to the position in the government like president, senators, etc SIRENA or "Mermaid" (context: half human half fish = half male half female) talks about the struggle of LGBT people. Specially those who grew up in a very abusive environment wherein their own family cannot accept them for who they are. Like gay kids that are beaten up by their own fathers. MAGDA short for Magdalena (a biblical Reference to Magdalene the prostitute) talks about prostitution and their life struggle and their struggles in pursuit of finding true love.
Sirena goes even way back because it was a common thing for fathers to try and drown the âgayâ out of someone. Sirena or mermaid can breathe underwater so no matter how many times you try and drown them, it wouldnât work, they would still be who they are.
This song is directed to politicians who owned a "seat" or a position in the government. In the first part, he describes the life of politicians' life, and in the second, the life of the typical poorest of the poorest people here in PH. "Bato bato sa langit, ang tamaan ay wag magalit" is a saying literally means 'stone thrown in the sky, don't be mad whom it hits'. It means 'if bad/dirty actions/works were being talked about, don't be mad because it was addressed to no one in particular. If you reacted badly or get angry about it, it would only mean that you're the one doing it because you're being affected by it. So the part 'don't be so obvious' is a correct translation. He's saying to 'that person' who he describes on the first part to not react too obvious. *I'm not good in explaining. Still hope u understand what I wrote above...đ
Up. This changes the perspective of the song compared to the translation Efra read. It changes the meaning from depicting just "Rich people" to "Rich corrupt politicians in power"
Gloc 9 is a true Filipino poet. Heâs a good storyteller. You should also check out some of his songs that had been used in some of nationalistic movies. Hindi pa Tapos Illustrado *Hari ng Tondo (this was so popular back then)
It would be AMAZING if you guys can fully understand tagalog and listen to Gloc 9's albums and songs, he speaks a lot about the struggles of the common folk and others who have been marginalized by society and social norms. Efra's mind will be blown by the lyricism that Gloc 9 has. Some songs will even make you emotional. Gloc 9 is great at story telling and I'm a big fan of his đ€đ€đ€
Upuan (Chair) is actually about the politicians "seated" on a chair of power "where people fought over if there was chance". "Why don't stand so you can see my predicament?"
Throwing stones in the sky, to those who get hit: Don't be mad. This is symbolism about the song towards those who get "triggered" by its lyrics (AKA Corrupt politicians) when they hear it, he's saying it might get too obvious if they start reacting.
"bato bato sa langit ang tamaan wag magalit" is like "i'm not saying its you but if the shoe fits.. dont get mad". Thats why he says "don't be too obvious." Cause it will mean you're guilty.
The song does not vilify the rich. The song is actually about elected Government officials who are corrupt, untouchables and enrich themselves out of Government funds while neglecting the needs of the poor. "Upuan" means chair which symbolizes Government seats.
Woah, thank you for reacting to this one and for knowing what the song is all about. I've heard this song so many times and for me this is one of the best OPM hit ever. I don't know why when you guys are reading the lyrics tears just fall from my eyes, it made me realize again the situation of many Filipinos who doesn't have voice and power, it just made me sad. So proud of gloc9 and to his masterpieces. Thank you for reacting.
Itâs an idiom in the Philippines (Bato bato sa lagit ang matamaam wag magalit) When they get hit by the rock, donât react negatively. This is directed to politicians who are angry when their wealth from corruption are uncovered through investigations. Thatâs why kz and gloc 9 were saying âWag kang masayadong halataâ Donât be too obvious.
Every time the election is in the corner I always remember this song. This song talks about the politics and politicians here in the Philippines. How these officials do their job and also the corruption happening. Gloc 9 lyrics were so awesome and the mirror of reality in life.
"Stones in the sky": "bato bato sa langit" in tagalog. It's a Filipino expression. It's one of those things that make no sense when translated in english. Bato bato is a type of bird. But bato also means "stone." And then "sa langit" means in the sky. So "bato bato(brid) in the sky" makes sense as it is. On the other hand, "bato bato(stone) in the sky" if you imagine a stone in the sky, it technically can hit anyone by accident, which leads to the other half of the expression/saying. "..ang tamaan wag magalit" means whoever gets hit, don't be mad. It's an expression used when you're saying something, usually criticism/facts, and someone in the room feels like/knows you're talking about them. It's comparable to you know these days when we read some memes and you react like, oh damn I feel attacked. That's basically what the other person feels (but not in a meme way). It's an expression used when you're like indirectly talking s- on someone. Idk if that makes sense. But in the context of the song, since the song is technically addressing to the government, the expression is kinda used to like say, don't act like you don't know who I'm talking about, (obviously you). Then the background vocals that goes "wag kang masyadong halata" basically says "don't be so obvious" (that you're feeling attacked). But your analysis and how it translated in english was actually interesting too, when you said stones being thrown at the system, over the high walls. Idk if that was thought through/intentional on his writing, or just an accident. But I wouldn't be surprised. Also the whole song is written with the word "po" throughout the song, which is used to show respect. But here it's like being passive aggressive, kinda sarcastic. So it's not like directly in the government's face that he's talking s- which I think strikes deeper. Because like wouldn't you feel pity if let's say you're an authority and you did something wrong, and someone below you still shows respect when pleading for you to recognize your fault? It would make you feel more sympathetic. But if it was more of a direct s- talk, you'd just get aggravated and wouldn't budge. So showing respect is also like a desperate attempt to make them feel sympathetic, rather than adding more fuel to the fire.
i suggest to watch his song "WALANG NATIRA" that message is about the filipino people who always choose or prefer to leave the country to work abroad just to feed their family.
Indeed, Gloc 9 and KZ Tandingan is another combination to beat. đ Try looking up Ariel Rivera, Lea Salonga and Ogie Alcasid doing 80s and 90s OPM genre
Upuan is Chair And the Song is symbolized to our President of the philippines meaning when He/She seating in the office of President is Blind or not seeing the poor peopleđ
the Upuan is about the throne in the palace. refers to the president of the philippines that didn't see the problem of the people. thats why gloc9 says when you are in the palace eating expensive food. the others are suffering hunger. the lyrics is a methapore
Its for the politics of the Philippines that's always not see those people's that lower of life fortune down living This song to tell them that we poor people of the Philippines we our waiting for your returns for voting on being official of the Philippines
-It is a political song, the seat represents the government position, and the person who sits is the politician that when election time comes everyone are trying to get on it. -politicians that has the power to help the poor has built a high wall to separate themselves, they are blind to see the reality of their countrymen, they eat prosperously while the other side of the wall are crawling with sweat and blood to have a food on the table. -bato-bato sa langit, matamaan wag magalit, bato = stone is a famous proverb here in the philippines example of the is > when I say "Corrupt Politician" that is the stone that i threw, i never said a name but whoever is guilty with corruption will be affected and surely will react, they are the guilty ones. from that, the stones from the sky, who will be hit dont be mad. will be more make sense...

Bato-bato sa langit, it's also synonymous to the famous english saying "If the shoe fits, please feel free to wear."đ

@@misschelle23 That's actually a great example. That's probably the closest English proverb to our Filipino version.

political song... THE SEAT is a mirror of a political representation in the country which no one wants to let go.
Upuan (Chair) is actually about the politicians "seated" on a chair of power "where people fought over if there was chance". "Why don't stand so you can see my predicament?"
The stage is set on fire whenever Gloc 9 gets to perform with KZ..ehe...please please...see their live take of "Industriya"... đđđ
Regine and Gloc 9 also had many collaborations but they recorded and released a song entitled TAKIPSILIM. Their live performance was pure perfection!

This song "Upuan", meaning those seated in the government as an official or politician. Those who are in power are abusing their position.

"Batu-bato sa langit, ang tamaan ay wag magalit" is a Filipino saying. It's for a criticism without naming who it is intended for, and whoever reacts against it is an admission that it's for that person.
e.g. "Someone in this room is so insensitive. Batu-bato sa langit (shortened version)"
--Once you hear it, and know it's meant for you, don't engage verbally but you should behave yourself to avoid clash. Filipinos usually avoid confrontation in the name of "delikadésa" (not delicacy lol; it's the value of maintaining dignity/decency/decorum by avoiding embarrassing situations).
