nursery rhymes!

Tong, tong, tong, pakitong-kitong
Alimango, sa dagat
malaki at masarap
mahirap
mahuli sapagkat nangangagat
tong, tong, tong, tong pakitong-kitong.

bahay kubo kahit munti ang halaman doon ay sari-sari
singkamas at talong sigarilyas at mani......

sampung mga daliri, kamay at paa
dalawang tenga, dalawang mata
ilong na maganda

malilinis na ngipin, masarap kumain
dilang maliit nagsasabing
'wag kang magsinungaling

hope you'll like it. i could teach you how it's being sung.

hey Travis what's up?

here's a short filipino nursery rhyme that i could share with you.

paa, tuhod, balikat, ulo (4x)
(foot, knee, shoulder, head).

just to appreciate what the first three had shared, i will tell you the meaning of it:

Rinoa: Tells something about the big (malaki) and tasty/delicious (masarap) crab (alimango), yet it's so hard to catch (mahirap mahuli) because it bites (sapagkat nangangagat)!

Cristine: Bahay Kubo.... a philippine folk song that tells about our national house (bahay kubo - nipa hut) and the different plants (mga tanim) surrounding it. by the way, most of the plants mentioned there are vegetables...

Noypi: Sampung mga daliri (ten fingers), kamay (hand) at (and) paa (foot). dalawang tenga (two ears), dalawang mata (two eyes), ilong na maganda (beautiful/fine-looking nose).
Malilinis (clean) na ngipin (teeth) masarap (good-tasting/delicious) kumain (eat), dilang maliit nagsasabing 'wag kang magsinungaling (small tongue tells not to say a lie)!

I hope you could sing along with these basic rhyme and appreciate it.

Paalam (good-bye)

PEN PEN DE SARAPEN

Pen pen de sarapen
De kutsilyo, de almasen
Haw, haw de karabaw batuten
Sipit namimilipit
Ginto`t pilak namumulaklak
Sa tabi ng dagat

Sayang pula, tatlong pera
Sayang puti, tatlong salapi
Sawsaw sa suka, mahuli ay taya
Sawsaw sa suka, mahuli ay taya

And here's another one:

LERON LERON SINTA

Leron Leron Sinta
Buko ng Papaya
Dala dala'y buslo
Sisidlan ng bunga
Pagdating sa dulo'y
Nabali ang sanga
Kapos kapalaran
Humanap ng iba.

Hope this helps travis..lol!

Sitsiritsit, alibangbang
salaginto't salagubang
ang babae sa lansangan,
kung gumiri'y parang tandang

ako ay may lobo
lumipad sa langit
di ko na nakita
pumutok na pala
sayang ang pera ko
pambili ng lobo
kung pagkain sana'y
nabusog pa ako
