Manang Biday A traditional Ilokano folksong, this piece refers to a woman named

"Biday" (the title "Manang" used as a sign of respect in the Ilocos region and in
several parts of the country). The man is asking Biday to look outside her window
and listen to his plea. The piece is interestingly cast in two contrasting eight-measure
periods (parts A and B); the entire text composed of eight nine-syllable lines. The first
four lines (part A) refer to the lover's plea for attention, while the next four (part B)
contain Manang Biday's rejection of him. No Dua Dua-em Pay A traditional folksong
from the Ilocos Region, north of the Philippines, this popular piece tells of a lover's
fervent plea for reciprocation from his beloved who is doubtful of his feelings for her.
A unique character of the piece is it's use of the Cuban habanera rhythm. One of the
outcomes of 300 years of Spanish colonization, this musical style is more locally
known as a 'danza', evident in many of the folksongs during the era.

Huwag kang magtampo

Iyon ay biro lamang
‘Di na uulit
Manalig ka, hirang
Kung galit ka pa
Parusahang lubusan
At ‘yong asahang
Hindi magdaramdam
Tunay ang aking pag-ibig
at hindi biru-biro lamang
ang puso ko’y sa iyo
huwag kang mag-alinlangan
at kung kulang pa rin
kunin mo pa yaring buhay
‘Yan ay tanda ng
sukdulang pagmamahal

Tulala sa gabi
Mag-isa pero ayus lang
Sa loob loob ko ayoko to
