Dang-dang-ay lyrics with English translation

Dang-dang-ay lyrics

This is a traditional song whi8ch became popular during World War 2. The guerilla soliers sang this song while bidding farewell to their sweethearts. The women didn't want them to go while the men promised that they're coming back.

Dang-dang-ay si dong-ilay
Dang-dang-ay si dong-ilay
Isinali dumma-ay Isinali dumma-ay
Ading di ka agsangit
Agsubliyak mabiit Ading di ka agdanag

Mabiit a mabayag
Urray innak mabitay

No dik gasat a matay
Kastoy gayam ta ayat
Pangkitaan ti rigat
Anosam kad a bagi
Ta adi ka met nagpadi.

English translation:

Insinali dumma-ay Insinali dumma-ay
Dang-dang-ay si dong-ilay
Young sister, don't cry
I'll return in a short while.
Young sister, don't worry
In a short while tho' quite long
Even if I'm to be hanged
If it's not my fate to die.
So, this is love
Myself, be patient
Realization of hardships.
Because you did not get to be a priest.
