NU NUNUK DU TUKUN (Mula sa pag-awit ni Catalina Faronilo Hontomin) Nu nunuk du tukun, minuhung as kadisi na; ichapungpung diya am yaken u nilawngan na. Kapaytalamaran ava su avang di idaud ta miyan du inayebngan na, ta miyan du inajebngan na. Nu itanis ko am nu didiwen ko. ta nu taw aya u suminbang diyaken; nu maliliyak a pahung as maheheyet a riyes u minahey niya-u minahey n'ya diyaken. I wish i would visit Batanes before i die..
The song reminds me of the old and traditional way of singing or chanting the life of Jesus in the Tagalog regions. The "Pabasa". The old Filipino Catholic tradition of celebrating Easter. Thank you very much for sharing this. Saludos and Mabuhay.
I'm beginning to love the Ivatans. I got here after watching a video on Ivatan architecture video. I thought the Spanish-Era bahay the bato was an architectural marvel, but after seeing the Ivatan design, I'm thinking twice about the kind of home I wanted built when I retire back home. This song sounds very pure & sung from the heart. I wish someone can come up with chords so I can play it on my guitar. Thanks for sharing this video.

The song is a mourning song for someone who was drowned in the sea. Check on Laji by Prof. Hornedo, UST Publidhing House.
A very emotional song and story, it could really make somebody cry if only understood.

Who defines "world class"? All earthlings are world class.
