Lyrics: BOSES NI LOLO BICOL MUSIC FESTIVAL 1982

By Engr. Henry Turalde

Dai mo na madadangog
an boses ni lolo
Dai na nya makakanta
mga pangharana

Sa banggi sa pagturog
iisipon mo
kundimang paborito
nindo ni lolo

Dai ka magmundo, lola

yaon sako an musika
kan si lolo may boses pa
itinukdo nya sakuya

Dangogon mo an kanta ko
hale pa ki lolo
giromdomon na si lolo
nagkakanta simo

sa banggi sa pagturog
iisipon mo
kundimang paborito nindo ni lolo

Dai ka mag mundo, lola

yaon digdi an musika
kun si lolo may boses pa
pirming kakantahan ka niya

Maski ngunyan na kadakul

mga kantang magagayon
an kundiman dadangugon
maglihis man an halawig na panahon
kanta ni lolo dangugon

dai ka magmundo lola

yaon digdi an musika
kan si lolo may boses pa
pirming kakantahan ka niya.

Theme

Everlasting Love

Love has, quite unfairly, come to be associated with being happy. However, it is also
one of the most reliable routes to misery. We tend to treat our sadness individually, as if it
were unique and shameful. But, there are some solid reasons why love should be highly
sorrowful at times. The good news is that, by understanding our romantic troubles and
grief’s, seeing them in their proper context and appreciating their prevalence, we will cease to
feel so alone and so cursed.

Summary

In this lyric poetry shows the author that when someone or something is alive, sound
is around us. But, when you are dying, everything starts to become dark and silence rules.

She expresses his affection for husband very intimate way. She depicts love in an
optimistic, dreamy and almost idealistic way. Then already reveals the concept of time that
Yeats often uses. Here, She describes real love not as something temporary but everlasting. It
is the strong connection between two human beings that belong together, and this connection
will never end. This connection is a very deep one being independent of all circumstances
and superficialities.

There and Then

Courtship is different for each culture and I love how in the Filipino culture, it would
require hard work, commitment and perseverance.  The time, the energy, the effort, the
thoughts and the commitment will never be matched by a monetary value.  It’s like giving a
part of yourself and your life to the person who hasn’t given her sweet yes to you yet.

Basically, the Filipino culture of courtship then was the harana style. The man trying
to woo the lady love would serenade her from beneath her window. He would visit the girl’s
family, introducing himself to the parents and kissing the girl’s parents’ hands as a sign of
respect. Then, he would ask permission to court the girl. He would then visit the girl regularly
and do menial tasks so as to prove the sincerity of his love and good intentions for the lady
love. My Grandfather said “Sa panahon ko, uso pa rin noon sa probinsiya ang mga dalaw,
love letters, pasundo-sundo sa  school, kain sa canteen, hatid sa bahay. “

Back in the early ’70s, courtship took a lot of perseverance and patience and it was to
before you could even get to the point of holding hands with a fair maiden.
 Harana  is a traditional courtship practice where men introduce themselves and woo
their admired lady by serenading underneath her window at night. Given the sweet
combination of Spanish-influenced songs and of the wonderful Tagalog poesy and lyricism,
serenading the woman of your dreams on a breezy night is such a commendable and extremely
sweet courtship act you could ever perform.

Here and now

At present time, harana is no longer a common dating practice among young lovers in

the Philippines. Although there are still gentlemen who prefer to render a love song for their
chosen lady, they no longer perform this outside her house. Instead, plenty of them do this at
malls, clubs, or during parties with the end goal of creating a higher flicker of emotion, most
especially in front of the public’s eye.

But this present generation is a shocker to me. While it may be true that some men
still adhere to the old style of courtship in the 1970s, what is more “in” today is MU (mutual
understanding). Kahit new acquaintance, basta magtama ang mga mata at magkasundo ang
ugali, boyfriend na. And mind you, sex outside marriage is prevalent these days. It’s so sad
that the old culture of courtship is just a thing of the past.

In addition since we are in new generations the old songs way back 1970’s are the
youth was hate to listen the OPM Songs instead they give a focus in modern songs and also
the different genres and version came from Foreign areas.
