Paruparong Bukid (Field Butterfly)

🦋

 TAGALOG SONG LYRICS

Paruparong bukid na lilipad-lipad
Sa gitna ng daan papaga-pagaspas
Isang bara ang tapis
Isang dangkal ang manggas
Ang sayang de kola
Isang piyesa ang sayad

May payneta pa siya — uy!
May suklay pa man din — uy!
Nagwas de-ohetes ang palalabasin
Haharap sa altar at mananalamin
At saka lalakad nang pakendeng-kendeng.

 
This song compares a dolled-up woman to a field butterfly flying down the road.

  1. A parody for these times:

    Paruparong politiko,
    Lilipat-lipat partido,
    Sa kabi-kabilang yaya,
    ‘Di magkandaugaga.
    Daan daan na ang kupit,
    Metro metro na ang kabig,
    Ang saya nilang talaga,
    Kapag napaikot ang masa.
    May pangako pa sila, uy!
    May pamudmod pa mandin, uy!
    Pampaganda ng imahen,
    Ang ngisi’y palalabasin.
    Haharap sila sa madla,
    At lahat ay aaliwin,
    At saka magsisilayas,
    Kapag kaban ay nalimas.

    1. no respect Acts 10:28, 34–35. The gospel was for all people, not just the Jews. Explain that “God is no respecter of persons” means that God will provide every person with the opportunity to receive the blessings available through the plan of salvation.)

  2. My Grandmother sang me this song as a child. She was a music teacher in the Philippines until she moved to New Jersey to help her youngest daughter raise 3 kids. I miss her every day. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy this song again.
