Ili-Ili Tulog Anay- Traditional (arr. by Jose Valdez)

**** From THE PHILIPPINE GUITAR ****
I recently counted how many pieces I've played so far in the Philippine Guitar book. With this latest addition, the count stands at 35. I thought I was almost through with the book until I realized there are still 35 more pieces to go!!!!. So I just hit my midpoint milestone and it only took me 3 years to get here. The song from which this piece is based, as I understand from the discussions out there, is an Ilonggo (Visayan) lullaby. I think it's appropriate to post the lyrics here.


Ili, ili, tulog anay
wala diri imo Nanay
kadto tienda, bakal papay
ili, ili, tulog anay


Mata ka na,
tabangan mo
ikarga ang nakompra ko
kay bug-at man sing putos ko
tabangan mo ako anay

Ili, ili, tulog anay
wala diri imo Nanay
kadto tienda, bakal papay
ili, ili, tulog anay

Translation:

Hush, hush, sleep little one
your mother is not here,
she went to buy some bread
hush, hush, sleep little one.

You are awake,
come and help
carry the things I bought
because it is heavy
help me little one

Hush, hush, sleep little one
your mother is not here,
she went to buy some bread
hush, hush, sleep little one.

I checked vgorecordings [dot] com and found that you can buy the sheet music for this piece there. It has both standard notation and tabs. Regards.

I never count them as I upload them. I have a lot more audio-only standard classical recordings (barrios, bach, etc) which I do not play anymore.
