Chorus:

Ako'y isang sirena
(I'm a mermaid)

Kahit anong sabihin nila, ako ay ubod ng ganda
(Whatever they say, I'm very beautiful)

Ako'y isang sirena
(I'm a mermaid)

Kahit anong gawin nila, bandera ko'y di tutumba
(Whatever they do, my banner won't fall)

Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
(A drum with water is where I dive)

Naglalakihang mga braso, sa'kin dumidikdik
(Big arms are always hitting me)

Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
(A drum with water is where I dive)

Sa patagalan ng paghinga, sa'kin kayo ay bibilib
(You'd be amazed at how long I've been holding my breath)

Verse 1:

Simula pa nang bata pa ako
(Ever since I was a kid)

Halata mo na kapag naglalaro
(You'll see, it's obvious in how I play)

Kaya parang lahat ay nalilito,
(That's why everyone looks confused)

Magaling sa Chinese garter at piko
(when I'm the best in Chinese garter and hopscotch)

Mga labi ko'y pulang pula
(My lips are very red)

Sa bubble gum na sinaba
(With the bubble gum I ate)

Palakad-lakad sa harapan ng salamin
(Always walking in front of the mirror)

Sinasabi sa sarili, "ano'ng panama nila?"
(I said to myself, "what can they do against me?")

Habang kumekembot ang bewang
(With swaying hips)

Mga hikaw na gumegewang
(And dancing earrings)

Gamit ang pulbos na binili kay Aling Bebang
(I use the powder bought from Mrs. Bebang)

Upang matakpan ang mga pasa sa mukha
(To cover up the bruises on my face)

Na galing sa aking ama
(That come from my father)

Na tila di natutuwa sa tuwing ako'y nasisilayan
(Who doesn't seem to be happy whenever he sees me)

Laging nalalatayan
(Always beaten' up)

Sa paglipas ng panahon ay di ko namamalayan
(As time goes by, I'm became unaware that)

Na imbes na tumigas ay tila lalong lumalambot
(Instead of becoming strong, I become softer)

Ang puso kong mapagmahal
(My loving heart)

parang pilikmatang kulot
(is like a curly eyelash*)

Chorus:

Ako'y isang sirena
(I'm a mermaid)

Kahit anong sabihin nila, ako ay ubod ng ganda
(Whatever they say, I'm very beautiful)

Ako'y isang sirena
(I'm a mermaid)
