Tagalog Folk Song/Dance: ABARURAY- Mabuhay Singers (Very Rare Vinyl Copy)

The words "Abaruray Abarinding" were often heard when I was little but never heard the tune and the song until now... very nice... thank you for uploading.

@felixbautista: Thanks for the comment, Tito. Although the lyrics of the song definitely does not match with the dance step ("where the young lady offers wine then dances "with the glass of wine on her head") it teaches the importance of returning things that are not yours: "Abaruray, Abarinding isauli mo ang suklay, singsing, tubiak, tigad and tukil" (I have no idea what the three last objects are). I guess Ruray has the habit of taking someone else's personal possessions. :))
