"Gitara" : Parokya ni Edgar

A Filipino band entitled “ Parokya ni Edgar was founded in 1993. Its members are Chito Miranda on
lead vocals, Gab Chee Kee on rhythm guitar and vocals, Buwi Meneses on bass guitar, Darius Semaa on
lead guitar, Dindin Moreno on drums and percussion, and Vinci Montaner on guitar (backing vocals). The
group is recognized for its original rock novelty tunes and frequently humorous versions of well-known
national and international music. The group excels in playing a variety of musical styles.

Local media sources and several awarding organizations have referred to Parokya ni Edgar as
"Pambansang Banda ng Pilipinas" ("The National Band of the Philippines"). Although the band's name
includes the name "Edgar," none of the members bear that name.

The song was released on 2005 by their album named "Halina Sa Parokya". A person who lacked the
guts to admit and declare their love to someone is the subject of the song. Gitara by Parokya Ni Edgar is
a song that teaches us about our culture's long-standing customs for courtship and expressing love by
making an effort for someone. On YouTube, "Gitara" has received 1 million views, 10.5 thousand likes,
and no disapprovals.
 “GITARA”
Song by Parokya ni Edgar

Bakit pa kailangang magbihis, sayang din naman ang porma

Lagi lang namang may sisingit, sa twing tayo'y magkasama

Bakit pa kelangan ang rosas kung marami namang nag-aalay sayo

Uupo na lang at await, maghihintay ng pagkakataon

Hahayaan na lang silang magkandarapa na manligaw sayo

Idadaan na lang kita sa awitin kong ito, sabay ang tugtog ng gitara

Idadaan na lang sa gitara

Mapapagod lang sa kakatingin kung marami namang nakaharang

Aawit na lang at magpaparinig ng lahat ng aking nadarama

Pagbibigyan na lang silang magkandarapa na manligaw sayo

Idadaan na lang kita sa awitin kong it, sabay ang tugtog ng gitara

Idadaan na lang sa gitara

Pagbibigyan na lang silang magkandarapa na manligaw sayo

Idadaan na lang kita sa awitin kong ito

Sabay ang tugtog ng gitara

Oh

Idadaan na lang

Sa gitara
