SI NANAY, SI TATAY


This is a song which is about a child's deep gratitude towards his parents for all the sacrifices they have done. This is a song from Camarines Sur which is about a child giving great regard for the debt he owes his parents from the day he was born on earth. No one could nurture a child better than the mother herself. Through her, children are present in this world and that thing cannot be paid by any monetary amount. The love, care and concern shown to the child from the day he was born are exceptional that parents do not ask for anything in return.

Bikolanos have profound respect for his parents, as shown through their gestures. One practice was never to pass in front of another without bending the knee and obtaining permission which was done by raising the hand near the face. Actions of each member of the family determine the value of discipline gained from their parents.


Si Nanay, Si Tatay 'di ko babayaan
Balakid na buot an sakuyang utang
Si pagdara sako nin siyam na bulan
Gatas kong sinuso 'di ko mabayadan.

Ay Nanay, Ay Tatay
Kung ako maghali, hihidwaon mo'ko sa gabos mong aki
Makukuha ka man nin makakasangli
Dai maka-arog kan sakong ugali.

Ay Nanay, Ay Tatay
Kung ako maraot, pugutan nin payo ibuntog sa laod
Kung makahiling ka nag-aanud-anod
Ay Nanay, Ay Tatay, sapuda man tolos.
