thanks for great cover - love from Malaysia

[rikshysays]

this gave me chills. great cover! :)

[serenity101]

wow... there's a touch of sensuality in the way you sing.. cheers!

[crimdell]

Great job on this song. I'm going to learn this song so I can sing it to my Filipina wife and this is the version I am going to use to learn it. I wish I could play the uke also. It sounds great on this song. It gives it a Hawaiian flair that is very nice.

[CateeMajig]

Love it. :) You rock.

[shugaplum21]

Hey ernie, quick question, are ya filipino too? :)

[HalfMusician]

[serenity0324]

I actually LOVE the ukulele with this! It gives it--I dunno, a playfully romantic vibe, I think. Good job!

[samsamsamjitp]

Thanks for your rendition. It's very much heartwarming. :) Keep it all up! 

[iMkinDOfbiGdEaL19]

Mabuhay ka ! Congratulations! I feel very proud to hear you sing our national favorite song....Thank you for sharing this video...Salamat po.

[bw8468]

Thanks so much for posting... It was magical when you caressed those tagalog words with the same musicality the way the GREAT Nat King Cole did; and nothing was lost: the melody and sentiment remained intact. And that was AWESOME!

Salamat po!

[1419sunnyside]

you sings well.

[thekungfufighter]

Do you study Tagalog?

[cecildylan]

Wow... a different but beautiful delivery

[jstarr1230]

I love this song. that's a ukulele your playing right? what are the chords? thank u

[gurl48]

I have been awake for 27 hours straight, writing (my job). Between one of my breaks, I found this video. I love love LOVE this song, and the way you sing it. I have listened to it probably 120 times. beautiful <3

[ex23tom]

:Wow nice song ...xD cool

[margiealmonte]

does anyone know the chords he used?

[superpeachasters]

WOW!! NICE VIDEO BEAUTIFUL VOICE... VERY TOUCHY SONG

[reydacosta]

nice job Ernie. great voice and passion! where can I get these chords for guitar?

p.s. I request you cover "moody's mood for love" I love the way elliot yamin did it!

peace.

[Lastog561]

Very good job ! Two Thumbs Up!

[talusan909]

awesome!

[TheBadlydrawn]

My face went all red at 1st... But man, well done!! Good old song choice... Nice version.

[ekong59]

you did a pretty great job. i hope you had someone translate the song to you first before you covered it. the singers here in the Philippines rarely even touch that song nowadays. now the music industry here's aiming for a "K-pop" sound-- completely disregarding how awesome classic Pinoy (slang for "filipino") music is.

you should trust your filipino friends when teaching you tagalog. they thought you well. :)

[joelodelgado]

@ekong59 im mostly averse to the filipino culture of late, i hate it. with all my heart; the filipino mentality in general, (imagine people aren't allowed to take photos of public places here in manila without paying a shooting fee) the shows, the politics, the politicians, the movies, and yes, the music. Yet, the old days were so much better.

[WUFFJK]

ang galing mo dude! chords pls

[WUFFJK]

dude ang galing mo... im learning this in ukulele. what are the chords you use for this song?

[j4YDiD4]

galing ka! :D that means youre great/good! :) well done ernie :D *faves video*

-xoxo

ps dont worry, "salamat po" DOES mean "thank you" in tagalog :D

[adytohbe2]

[amarettaludia]

Ernie, I'm curious as to why you recorded a Filipino song. Do you have any relatives that are Filipino? I was raised by a Step-Grandfather since age 3 that was Filipino from Cebu. I also have 2 brother-in-laws that are Filipino. Check out my Montage of Charice Pempengco above where I use the Filipino song DAHIL SA YO.

[findingtheincredible]

YES!

filipino pride :]

[flibbirty18gibbit01]

[anjito0ots]

coolness! it almost seems like you understand the song.haha props to ernie halter!

[mariel1220]

very good! lol

PROPS!

[jannar85]

Cool! 5 stars :)

[MBP619]

Props to you, for this. And they told you correctly. The "po" part is used for respect, generally directed towards someone significantly older. A simple "salamat sa iyong lahat" will suffice if you ever decide to cover another Tagalog song. It translates to "thank you, to you all." Great job, Ernie!

[kampam3]

Amazing, love it!!!

[weirdgrl99]

i like the color of your walls. anyways, you're getting better and better! I've been listening to you for a while now. :)

[melissa6585]

great job ernie!

[decastro]

[aileendoverr]

[estrelaxkaty]

Hideously love this.

[sevren777]

yeah boy! 5 stars.

[banumac]

Be still my heart!

[ladygia07]

LOVE LOVE LOVE that you covered at Tagalog song. Made my day.

You're right, it means "thank you"...

Can't stop to listen to it over & over again - btw, you made my mum very happy by singing this in her mothertounge ha ha :D

Maraming salamat!!
