Sitsiritsit Alibangbang

Is a Filipino folk song. This humorous song describe a


flirtatious woman threatening a storeowner that the ants are
going to get him if he is not going to extend credit, as well as
unusual situations of exchanging a child for a doll or
bagoong. It is said to have originated during the country's
Spanish colonization, as its lyrics suggest the ordinary life
during that time

Leron, leron sinta

The woman is singing about her beloved Leron who climbed


up a papaya tree with a basket in which he expected to put the
papaya fruit he was going to pick. But when he reached the
top of the tree, the branch broke. The woman says what bad
luck that was. "I'll find someone (?) Else!"
