Filipino Folk Song – Pandangguhan Lyrics

Pandangguhan

I

Manunugtug ay nangagpasimula

At nangagsayawan ang mga mutya

Sa mga padyak parang magigiba

Ang bawat tapakan ng mga bakya

II

Kung pagmamasdan ay nakatutuwa

Ang hinhin nila’y hindi nawawala

Tunay na hinahangaan ng madla

Ang sayaw nitong ating munting bansa

III

Dahil sa ikaw mutyang paraluman

Walang singganda sa dagat silangan

Mahal na hiyas ang puso mo hirang

Ang pag-ibig mo’y hirap makamtan

Kung hindi taos ay masasawi

Mga pagsuyong iniaalay

Kung hindi taos ay masasawi

Mga pagsuyong iniaalay

IV

Halina aking mahal, ligaya ko ay ikaw

Kapag ‘di ka natatanaw,

Ang buhay ko ay anong panglaw

Halina aking mahal, ligaya ko ay ikaw

Kapag ‘di ka natatanaw,

Ang buhay ko ay anong panglaw

V

Kung may pista sa aming bayan,

Ang lahat ay nagdiriwang

May letchon bawat tahanan,

May gayak pati simbahan

Paglabas ni Santa Mariang mahal,

Kami ay taos na nagdarasal

Prusisyon dito ay nagdaraan,

Kung kaya’t ang iba’y nag-aabang

May tumutugtog at may sumasayaw,

Mayrong sa galak ay napapasigaw

Ang pista sa bayan namin ay ganyan,

Ang saya’y tila walang katapusan.

(Ulitin ang I)

(English Rough Translation)

 I

The musicians have began

And the maidens dance

Seems to be destroyed In the tramp

To each trample of the wooden shoes

II

If you look is so amusing

The refinement were not missing

Really admired by the people

The dance of our small country

III

As of you muse Pearl

Nothing as beautiful as to the east sea

Dear beloved jewel your heart

Your love is hard to attain

If you are not sincere is perish

Affection offered

If you are not sincere is perish

Affection offered

IV

Come my dear, you are my happiness

When I do not not see you,

My life is dreary

Come my dear, you are my happiness

When I do not not see you,

My life is dreary

V

If there is feast in our town,

Everyone is celebrating

There are letchon in every home,

There is decoration in the church

The release of Saint Mary dear,

We is sincerely praying

Here Procession is passing,

So the others waiting

There are playing instruments and dancing,

There are shouting to the delight

The feast in our town like that,

The happiness seems endless.

(Repeat I)
