[babyarnlove]

[silhouette7376]

Wow! I remember this song ...i always hear my mom singing this when i was a kid and she's putting my siblings to sleep.

ENGLISH INTERPRETATION: Here's Rosas Pandan Coming from the countryside To celebrate with your festivities. "This Balitaw is my livelihood An inheritance from my parents A most ancient song The pride of our hill country Its nice to dance our Balitaw Like a dew in the cool morning. Dodong is staring (peeping) at Inday He is drooling madly from intense desire

Sung in Visayan about the beautiful maiden Rosas Pandan. Translation: Here I am Rosas Pandan, coming from the mountains to be with all of you to celebrate this festivity. This "Balitaw" is my only offering, the only legacy from my forefathers. A song that is ancient, the pride of our mountains. Here is my "Balitaw" as I dance beautifully to it. It's as cool as the morning dew, hopping like crazy! Oh, the poor guy as he watches the young maiden he's drooling with excitement! Hope it helps

[joibu]

nice to hear your version of our filipino classic. thanks for sharing!

[solfedbutuan]

Dear University of Hawaii Choir, that was TOTALLY AWESOME! We are Visayans from an NGO (SOLFED Philippines) whose goal is to preserve our languages. You have done our Visayan cultures and identity such a great service and honor. In the Philippines, the non-Tagalog languages are not nationally recognized; consequently they are dying. If surveys read true, the Cebuano Visayan language you are singing in will be dead in 300 years. In behalf of the Visayan peoples thank you so much!

[bibbulator]

We're actually the International Vocal Ensemble of Hawaii Pacific University NOT UH....Thank you though....We all worked hard!
