CONSTANT CHANGE LYRICS-Jose Mari Chan

Constant Change lyrics
by: Jose Mari Chan

We're on the road
We move from place to place
And oftentimes when I'm about to call it home
We'd have to move along
Life is a constant change...

The friends we know we meet along the way
Too soon the times we share form part of yesterday
'Cause life's a constant change
And nothing stays the same, oh no

Clouds that move across the skies
Are changing form before our very eyes

Why couldn't we keep time from movin' on?
Hold on to all the years before this moment's gone?
Why must we live the days at such a frightening pace?

We're all like clouds that move across the skies
And changing form before our very eyes

Have we outgrown our Peter Pans and wings?
We've simply grown too old for tales of knights and kings
'Cause life's a constant change
And nothing stays the same, oh no

TAGALOG FOLK SONG-ALAALA KITA SA PAGTULOG

ALAALA KITA SA PAGTULOG

The song is an expression of sorrow of a broken-hearted lover.

uploaded by cathcath.com
Akala mo yata kita'y nililimot
Alaala kita sa gabing pagtulog
Ang inuunan ko luhang umaagos
Ang binabanig ko ay sama ng loob.
Di ka na nahabag, di ka na naawa.
Lusak na ang lupa sa patak ng luha.
Buksan mo na neneng ang munting bintana
At ako'y dungawin nagmamakaawa.

DOON PO SA AMIN

DOON PO SA AMIN


This is a funny song about four physically handicapped people trying to amuse themselves. The cripple dances while the mute sings, the blind watches and the deaf listens.

uploaded by cathcath.com

Doon po sa amin
Bayan ng San Roque,
May nagkatuwaang
Apat na pulubi

Sumayaw ang pilay,
Kumanta ang pipi,
Nanood ang bulag,
Nakinig ang bingi

TAGALOG FOLK SONG-MAGTANIM AY DI BIRO

uploaded by cathcath.com

Magtanim ay di biro
Maghapong nakayuko,
Di naman makaupo,
Di naman makatayo.

Halina, halina, mga kaliyag,
Tayo'y magsipag-unat-unat.
Magpanibago tayo ng lakas
Para sa araw ng bukas
Bisig ko'y namamanhid

Baywang ko'y nangangawit.
Binti ko'y namimintig
Sa pagkababad sa tubig.
Halina, halina...
Kay-pagkasawing-palad
Ng inianak sa hirap,
Ang bisig kung di iunat,
Di kumita ng pilak.
Halina, halina...

Awit nga labing karaan nga garbo sa atong kabukiran

Ugaling kung ikaw hidlawon

Sa dalan magbubon-bubon.

Yari si dansoy makiha.
Makiha sa pag-higugma
Ang panyo mo kag panyo ko
Dal-a diri kay tambihon ko
Ugaling kung magkasilo
Bana ta ikaw, asawa mo ako.

FILIPINO SUPERSTITIONS

Philippines is not the only the country that believe in some unfounded beliefs such as "sleeping with wet hair will make you blind" and other stuff. Some of these superstitions were brought to the Philippine shores by the colonizers i.e. Spain,
trade partners, i.e. China.

Some of the superstitions are the "do not types".

1. Do not sweep the floor in the evening. It is believed that you are driving the good luck away.

2. Do not trim or cut nails in the evening. It forebodes death in the family.

3. Do not sleep with wet hair. It will make you blind.

4. Do not sing infront of a stove or cooking range or whatever, if you are a young woman. You'll marry an old man.

Some of the superstitions are kind of the "warning types".

1. When you dream that you lose a tooth, it means that a relative is going to die.

2. When a black butterfly hovers around, it means sad news, death in the family.

3. When you drop a spoon, there will be a lady guest soon, if it is fork, it is male.

4. When a house lizard (butiki) makes its sound near a door, it means there will be a visitor soon, if it is coming from a window,it is you got mail.

5. When a black cat suddenly appears in your pathway, it is bad luck.

Filipino Folk Song-Sitsiritsit

SITSIRITSIT , ALIBANGBANG

uploaded by cathcath.com

This is playful song describing a flirt lady and threatening the storeowner that the ants are going to get him if he is not going to extend credit.

Sitsiritsit, alibangbang
Salaginto at salagubang
Ang babae sa lansangan
Kung gumiri'y parang tandang
Santo Niño sa Pandakan
Putoseko sa tindahan
Kung ayaw mong magpautang
Uubusin ka ng langgam
Mama, mama, namamangka
Pasakayin yaring bata.
Pagdating sa Maynila, ipagapalit ng manika.

Ale-ale,namamayong , pasukubin yaring sanggol,
Pagdating sa Malabon, ipagpalit ng bagoong.



Here is the literal English translation of the Filipino folk song

Sitsiritsit, butterfly
Black and golden beetles fly
The woman in the street
flirts like a rooster.
The Child Jesus in Pandacan,
Rice cakes in the small stores.
If you do not want to give credit,
The ants are going to bite you

Mister, mister, in the boat
Let the kid ride with you,
When you reach Manila,
trade him/her with a doll.

Lady, lady, with an umbrella,
Share the umbrella with the baby,
When you reach Malabon,
trade him/her with salted anchovies.

Paruparong bukid na lilipad-lipad
Sa gitna ng daan papagapagaspas
Isang bara ang tapisIsang dangkal

Isang piyesa ang sayad
May payneta pa siya -- uy!
May suklay pa mandin -- uy!
Nagwas de-ohetes ang palalabasin
Haharap sa altar at mananalamin
At saka lalakad na pakendeng-kendeng.

Philippine Heroes and Heroines-Gabriela Silang


Maria Josefa Gabriela Silang(March 19, 1731- September 29, 1763)

María Josefa Gabriela Cariño Silang was the first Filipino woman to lead
a revolt during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. An active
member of the insurgent force of Diego Silang, her husband, she led
the group for four months after his death before she was captured
and executed.

She was born on March 19, 1731 in Caniogan, Ilocos Sur,with a mestizo
(Spanish / Indigenous Ilocano ancestry). She was adopted by a wealthy
businessman who later married her at the age of 20, but left after
three years. In 1757, she married again, this time to 27-year-old
indigenous ilocano rebel leader, Diego Silang. She became one of
his closest advisors.

On May 28, 1763, her husband was assassinated by order of royal
and church authorities in Manila. After her husband's death, she
fled on horseback to the mountains of Abra to establish her
headquarters, reassemble her troops, and rally the Tingguian
community to fight. They descended on Vigan on September 10,
1763. But the Spanish garrison was ready, amassing Spanish,
Tagalog, and Kapampangan soldiers and Ilocano collaborators
to ambush her and rout her forces. Many were killed. She
escaped, alongside her uncle Nicolas and seven other men,
but later caught on September 29, 1763. They were summarily
hanged in Vigan's plaza, with Gabriela being the last to die.

Philippine Heroes and Heroines-Andres Bonifacio


Andres Bonifacio
(1863-1897)


Andres Bonifacio was born in Born in Tondo, Manila, on November 30, 1863.

Bonifacio founded the Katipunan on July 7, 1892 , a revolutionary secret society which would later spark the Philippine Revolution of 1896 against Spanish rule.
In this period, he met his second wife, Gregoria de Jesus,
who became a rebel leader in her own right. His right-hand man was Emilio Jacinto. Within the society, Bonifacio's codename or nom de guerre was Maypagasa (There is hope).

With the establishment of the Katipunan, Andrés
Bonifacio became popularly known as the Father of the Revolution. In the organization, he eventually held the title of Supremo.

Just before the Revolution broke out, he formed a revolutionary government
where he was also president of the Tagalog republic from August 24, 1896
to May 10, 1897.

He wrote the patriotic poem, Pag-ibig sa Tinubuang Lupa which saw print
in the first and only issue of the Katipunan periodical, Kalayaan (Freedom),
edited by Jacinto. Allegedly, he also made the first translation of Jose
Rizal's final poem, Mi Ultimo Adios (My Last Farewell) into Tagalog.

While Bonifacio's personal campaigns were less than successful, the
revolutionaries in Cavite had greater success, led by officers coming
from the upper classes, including the celebrated Emilio Aguinaldo.
Thus, they sent out a manifesto calling for a revolutionary government
of their own, disregarding Bonifacio's leadership.

A council comprising of Bonifacio's men and the Magdalo and the Magdiwang,
two locally-based rival Katipunan factions, held a convention in Tejeros,
Cavite to establish a unified front and settle the issue of leadership
of the revolutionary movement. The Magdalo faction was led by Baldomero
Aguinaldo, cousin to Emilio Aguinaldo. In the elections, the Cavitenos
voted their own Emilio Aguinaldo President. Bonifacio, due to the lack
of a power base in the province, was voted Director of the Interior.

However, a member of the Magdalo faction, Daniel Tirona, questioned
Bonifacio's qualifications for high office, declaring him uneducated
and unfit for the position. Bonifacio was slighted, all the more so
since he had previously asked that the results of the election be
respected by all. Invoking his authority as Supremo, he threatened
those in attendence with a pistol and declared the results of the
Tejeros Convention as null and void and left in a rage. Later, he
wrote to Jacinto about his misgivings about the whole matter, as
he suspected Tirona of spreading black propaganda against him and
fixing the ballots .

Regrouping his forces, he attempted to return to the province of Morong
(now Rizal), where he had a strong base and support. Tried by a moot
court 'in absentia' by the Aguinaldo faction, he was condemned as a
traitor to the Revolution and given the death penalty. An arresting
party of Magdalo soldiers caught up with Bonifacio in the town of Indang
and a skirmish ensued, in which Bonifacio was wounded and his brother
Ciriaco killed. He and his other brother, Procopio, were captured and were subsequently executed by firing squad on May 10, 1897 He was killed on
May 10, 1897, near Mount Buntis, Maragondon, Cavite.

Co-patriots of the Revolution regarded this an ugly blot laid at
Aguinaldo's door, though in fairness Aguinaldo originally wanted
them banished instead.

After many years, Bonifacio's remains were exhumed, but were believed
destroyed during World War II.
