[@shaynesalarda5071]

Gloc9's songs is a reflection of what he sees in society... You should check out his other songs like "Lando" his 1st hit it's about a tragic love story. "Upuan" is about politics, "Magda" (short for Magdalena) is a bout a woman who was led astray. He also have some happy vibes song like "Bayle". You will be amaze his songs actually tells a story.

[@bonbonitosongcoverbono4888]

You should react to its music video to dive into its wonderful meaning

[@salomepalatino6105]

Please react on the music video of this song you will be amaze by watching it..

[@akoziichoi1936]

Sirena is a song about LGBTQ+, its a story about a gay growing up in a homophobic family but at the end he was accepted by his father. Gloc 9 usually write songs that has social relevance.

[@leticiachiok8057]

Gloc-9's songs usually depict social issues in the current trends. And their genre attracts some social strata. He's a talented composer and artist.👏🤗🎤🎼

[@futorenkin6838]

Wrong, its about a transwoman, Transwoman is different from gay. A gay person is someone attracted to same sex but still identifies as birth sex.

[@stroberingo19]

Dude is amazing.

[@florencemodina6293]

Homophobic is good.👍👍👍👍👍

[@randomthoughts8346]

hahahaha

[@junjunels2192]

Gays in Philippines are lovingly called Sir/Reyna ( sir/queen) referring to gays who love to dress up like a queen, also because the Philippines male culture of being "Macho" having a gay child, fathers consider having a gay child an insult to his masculinity and would sometime punished their kids by dunking them in a water filled drum, whenever the father catch them acting out, so some gays later in their life talk about their stories, explained that they got so used to the punishment that they became a siren or mermaid being in the water all the time :)

[@xaphm_tres2747]

if you watch the music video. you'll be surprise how accurate the lyrics is. and it will make more sense..

[@hannleecabilao1019]

yes hoping for official music video reaction....

[@neliajesuitas7845]

A boy change' became a lady,,they called them serena

[@kimpoyclark5023]

Yes make a reaction on the official misic video

[@shengmari3806]

I hope you didnt miss the last part. When Gloc 9 narrated how the gay son was the only one left to take care of his father when he was already sick. And saying in the last line of that verse that sometimes, Gays are even more manly than most Men. Gloc9 is not just not for his fast raps but also because of his lyricism. You should check out his other songs.😉

[@williamarceo4450]

"sirena" which is derived Spanish word have 3 different meanings in Tagalog and other Filipino dialect depending on usage 1) sirena also pertains to mermaids 2) sirena also.meant an alarm like an ambulance's or firetruck siren 3) thirdly and recent in modern Filipino culture --sirena is also another slang word for gay person specifically male homosexuals

[@amiemeka.5189]

well said... up for this...

[@jeannebartolazo7883]

Well explained 😊

[@MrFilip1218]

Mismo

[@librettohub4533]

Omsim

[@Otrebor0707]

Exacto!!

[@kriannegarcia4448]

Basically, the chorus says, " i am a mermaid, no matter what they say, I am beautiful. I am a mermaid, no matter what they do, my flag stands strong." And then, he narrates how muscly arms hold him down, & he can stay long getting his head dunked in a drum of water bcoz he's not totally accepted by society as gay. He uses this as a positive way to say he is a mermaid regardless. 🔥

[@InahCayabyab]

when you realize that being a "sirena" also means that the father is submerging him/her in a drum of water as punishment because of being the way he/she is, the chorus just makes me sad :

[@notmiruku29anymore]

Yes, this got me too. 😭

[@One.Zero.One101]

Absolutely brilliant and artistic lyrics. Very emotional.

[@cherryannmenoza]

Magdalena by Clock9 feat Rico Blanco is also good.

[@HambebeNeverLulubog]

please

[@khimeaarts]

YESSSSSS

[@veldandi2443]

This one is good

[@remmynebrida445]

Yeahhhhhhh please

[@irenelaranjo2191]

Up..👍

[@_d.o.9947]

Gloc9 is such a legend.. his rapping is so clear like it feels like your reading what he spits.. you can clearly understand every word..

[@qweendy_]

Yeah, Sirena is a mermaid or siren/alarm in Filipino. It is also a slang word used for gays and transgenders.

[@loafieshenu]

I wish they translated the last verse, it really ties in and completes the story. Gloc 9 is such a great story teller, this song has been a jam ever since I was in 1st grade, now I’m almost there in graduating high school

[@bellem4126]

Regine Velasquez and Sarah Geronimo has a live rendition of this in ASAP. 😍 You should check that out!

[@airplay05078]

In the last stanza it says: ""Anak, patawad sana sa lahat ng aking nagawa 'Di sinusukat ang tapang at ang bigote sa mukha Dahil kung minsan, mas lalake pa sa lalake ang bakla" In English: "My child, sorry for what I've done in the past Manliness/Bravery is not measured by the amount of hair in your face Because sometimes, gays are manlier than men" It's a rough translation of it. The context was - he was only one left taking care of his old man after getting cancer.

[@marohestella1224]

Gloc9 is one of our best rapper The song is about LBTQ community 🇵🇭❤️

[@BlankVideo88]

My apologies I posted on a previous reaction. THE ORIGIN of GAY MERMAID CONNECTION. The first time I heard sirena (mermaid) was referred to "Gays" in the Philippines was on a comedy film starring comedian Joey De Leon in the early 80s. In one scene an angry father is torturing his son (Joey) by dipping him in a drum filled with water. The father would then raise him and ask him "Are you a MAN or a WOMAN?" In the end the very wet and angry son defiantly declares-- "SERENA AKO!" (I'M A MERMAID!). Today in the Philippines Gays has achieved so much acceptance and respecct.

[@everythinggoooes1163]

This song has always hit me hard… If only you understand it fully…. The way the “serena’s” childhood was conveyed is 👏🏻🙏

[@gerardtamallana8749]

There is a story behind this song. Gloc 9 is a story teller rapper lyrically😊

[@dolbyaa815]

Ebe Dancel is one who has openly expressed his admiration for Sarah G and wants to collab with her. And I hope that happens soon.

[@nix9439]

Much appreciation to Welaska and Efra. I love that you try to learn the lyrics and sing along

[@franco191]

Sirena is a Filipino slang for "gay" eventually evolved into "beki". To understand a bit meaning of the song, I would recommended you to watch the music video of the song. It is very heartwarming.

[@johnpatrickjoaquin1442]

One thing why dat song is phenomenal is because of Glock 9. He's one of the foundation of rap in the Philippines and his lyricism is also beyond another aspect of double meaning rap🇵🇭🇵🇭 Proud being one Filipino

[@superassassintvassassintv6973]

Hi aim Filipino that song is real life story you watch the full video for that you're 🎉 understand what's going on for filipino guy

[@gwynethperez4770]

The most best rapper in the phillipines gloc 9- sirena meaning story a Gay Proud pilipino 😎😎😎

[@reynaldonicolas3168]

wale the songs has deep meaning..it is albout the challenges of a gay person here in the philippines..

[@krieosdy9883]

P. S. Gloc 9 is a down to earth citizen. But famous. He grew up from a simple poor citizen and became a famous rap artist, one of the filipino rap legends.

[@DreamerFromBeyond]

Wonderful reaction guys thank you for taking interest in our culture!

[@kellyadkins358]

this was where I knew how to rap. Memorize ko parin until now HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@mystiquedame3525]

Watching the original music video would help you understand what this song is all about. It's a masterpiece.

[@Basta11]

Ebe Dancel was the vocalist for a rock band called SugarFree. Huge in the Philippines during the 2000s.

[@krieosdy9883]

Gloc 9 is a living legend. He is the first Filipino rapper who does quattro tempo.

[@herminiabuenavista7099]

Try reacting to Regine and Sarah’s version of Sirena when they had a rock and rap collaboration at ASAP Natin To singing Hallelujah and Sirena. It’s highly recommended!

[@itsmehoneyaletheia4314]

Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@msl8blo0m3r4]

Please react to SB19's Wish Bus performance of HANGGANG SA HULI (ballad) and Alab (pop). Thanks.

[@raisasongvlog3612]

Hi Waleska watching From Philippines🇵🇭 i like how reacts guys to Filipino Musicians Much love both of you Muchas Gracias💕💕💕💖😘👏

[@jamesbangs5121]

The last part was very emotional I hope he had read it because that was I think the essence of the song

[@rhyverwu]

Upuan by Gloc9 pleeaase ❤️

[@alanfajardo6726]

There's a Gloc 9 / KZ collab out there. It's a great piece

[@beegeebad3193]

Great review!

[@KulotLagalag01823]

cant w8 to see ur reaction while watchin the official music video👌😊

[@jancy111]

Check out gloc 9 and his Guitar player which btw shes a singer too her name is lirah, they both did a song called sahod

[@jhaycorteztv2267]

Also react to EBE DENCEL SA BAWAT DAAN AND HALIK SA HANGIN

[@jombest3818]

Sirena in the Philippines is the same - siren and mermaid. But it’s also a colloquial term for gay.

[@johnchrysostom330]

I still prefer the original version also by Gloc 9. The pace is slower.

[@freakyisha68210]

I like chayanne too, Im lucky to see chayanne in person here in canada. My friend brought me to watch his tour concert here😊😊

[@rancidjamesquilang2171]

Sirena means mermaid, but sirena also means sirens too in Filipino it depends how you use it in sentence but in this song Gloc-9 use sirena reffering to a man who wants to become a girl that's why he use SIRENA .

[@dudung3387]

Love the interactions.

[@jesselynabarro2215]

I love the discussion of siblings here.. not even mentioning any name about LGBTQ but they have the deeper description of it... I know they know what the song meant is but they cant just point out the thing what the LGBTQ is called.. they have the safest discussion talking about gender identity..

[@ceealejandro2985]

what the life without internet., but what my life without waleska???

[@may2972]

Gloc 9 collab with "Bands" for me are his best songs.

[@katherinedelacruz8093]

Ebe Dancel used to be in a band, its name is Sugarfree. Check their songs too. 👌

[@AbsentSun]

The life of a typical homosexual man being depicted in a song with such clarity is one of the reasons why the LGBTQ Community in the country is somewhat being accepted already. Gloc9 is an artist who I think will forever be remembered by his true-to-life compositions.

[@SwiftieBlink03]

I love Efra's mind so much hahaha He's so funny haha Segway pa more.

[@rakirada4280]

efra is right. in PH, sirena could mean either mermaids or the ambulance's siren. depends on the sentence use.

[@irismanuel6390]

the mv of this song really hit hard

[@xxxxpfontxxxxx]

Great reaction and analysis! I hope you have time to watch the MV, it makes so much sense contextually. I really like this song especially because it have a story and how Gloc 9 and Ebe Dencel narrates it lyrically.

[@vincentbusto9266]

honest reaction love it

[@lifeofkimmm]

"Its like you're underwater" yes maam, sirenas are in the water 😆

[@Filodez]

I was in 3rd grade when my friends and I would sit at the back of the class having rap sesh-and Sirena was one of the songs we would do

[@lordvincentthequietgamer7387]

I am a mermaid Whatever they say, I am very beautiful I am a mermaid Whatever they do, my flag will not fall Drum of water is where I dive Gigantic arms are pounding me down Drum of water is where I dive For longest breather, with me, you'll be amazed Starting from when I was younger You'll notice whenever I play Therefore everyone seems confused that I excel in Chinese garter and hopscotch My lips are very red From the gum I chewed Always walking in front of the mirror telling myself "who can they match" While waist is swaying Earrings that are moving Using the powder that was purchased from Mrs. Bebang To hide the bruises on my face that came from my father who is apparently not happy every time I am seen Always beaten As time goes by, I am not even aware that instead of becoming harder, it seems that it gets softer this heart of mine that is very loving like curly eyelashes I am a mermaid Whatever they say, I am very beautiful I am a mermaid Whatever they do, my flag will not fall Drum of water is where I dive Gigantic arms are pounding me down Drum of water is where I dive For longest breather, to me, you'll be amazed Until I became a young man Wait a minute, wrong, a young woman instead But why every one is still confused? What are your problems? Is it because my gestures are different From what's to be seen by your eyes Every ball game I watched I always gawk Even if the ball is not in, I am still happy Even callused by your strength, because that is just how I was whipped by a tube even if it's rusty "Stop it already father, I will not be stubborn I will not wear the old skirt of mom Whenever I feel like crying, I dash through the rain I just think that I might be adopted Because everyday I am beaten incessantly and reaching my beauty that's for under the ocean I am a mermaid Whatever they say, I am very beautiful I am a mermaid Whatever they do, my flag will not fall Drum of water is where I dive Gigantic arms are pounding me down Drum of water is where I dive For longest breather, with me, you'll be amazed Years have passed that one by one they got married my siblings, all of them went along going far away, can't even visit "Time to eat father, the table is ready" being guide when walking, stepping one by one now wasted what is then a muscular body when your birthday comes, I'll try to replace the sadness you're feeling, please let's not go back Even if disgusted, not because of cancer But because the one who taking care of you is in a dress One night, you called me, drawing near beside you, you reached, held my hand even though it's hard to speak "Son, may you forgive me for all that I have done" "You can't measure bravery and mustache on a face" "Because at time, gays are manlier than men" Drum of water is where I dive Gigantic arms are pounding me down Drum of water is where I dive For longest breather, with me, you'll be amazed I am a mermaid Whatever they do, my flag will not fall This is the closest translation from google search. This song is about the story of an individual, specifically a gay having hardships from his dad. "sirena" is what's used in here to represent their beauty, strength and endurance regardless of how hard the poundings and abuse are. You will appreciate this song more once you understand the whole meaning of it.

[@larocomel]

Have you reacted to the MV of this song? always made me cry.

[@cruselove]

When they interviewed glock9 adout this song he said that where he use to stay he would see this transgender very early every morning walking the side of the road going to work and he would watch people talked trash about this transgender he said he never understood why people would talk trash about this transgender when he/she is doing nothing wrong but getting up very early very morning getting ready just to go to work to glock9 point of view he see that thier is nothing wrong with expressing your self and going to work just so that you can take care of your family. That is why he made this song to tell people that thier is nothing wrong with being transgender.

[@johnpongsecando_]

Torero was very famous here in the Philippines and I can still remember how we dance with its beat.

[@Ultracharge9]

I may be late but a few future recomendations? 1. The actual music video of Sirena 2. Magda by Gloc-9 and Rico Blanco

[@mikhaellamartinez3149]

I've loved this song for a long time and yet I still haven't been able to rap like Gloc9 lol

[@bruh8mo292]

If you see the original music video you’ll realize the meaning... heart ❤️

[@michaelrequita3649]

Gloc 9 song is all true life story that is his signature

[@jurrezarich]

This song have a very nice story and great lesson... It's a story telling.

[@kriannegarcia4448]

Sirena in Tagalog means two things, Mermaid, or Alarm as well. Anyway, Im glad youve featured this song! This is one of my favorite Gloc9 songs. It speaks about pressures and experiences growing as LGBTQ. Gloc9 is indeed a very talented artist. His lyrics are very relatable, timely and realistic.

[@CK2MotoParts0119]

Both of you are correct

[@earlkingsleyequila5361]

Maybe you should also react to Gloc 9's Magda. That was lit!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@your_eyes_tell1294]

I was looking forward for Efra to read the last part, it is the most heartfelt message of the song. It is a sweet ending. About how his father who had always been beating 'him' up since when he was young finally apologize for all the wrong things he had done to his childhood.

[@angelojunio3563]

You're both correct about the Sirena, they both mean "mermaid" and "siren on an ambulance.

[@melomagiko123]

I am always entertained on how you are interacting

[@ncr4geotagging366]

To appreciate the song you should react to the mv. Its really heartwarming

[@ruizrodelas646]

Please react more on Gloc 9 songs.. He is a good story teller..

[@phelarcaspepomarejos9553]

You can also react SARAH GERONIMO singing SIRENA by gloc 9...🙏🙏🙏

[@jennifermariaespiritu1298]

The song is a story about a young gay lad who has a big heart but his father couldn't accept that he is gay so he was always beaten by him. Ako'y isang sirena is how he describes himself as being beautiful inside out as a person., I'm a mermaid if you translate the title in English. At the end of the song, the gay person actually takes care of his father when he got sick so even with all those beatings and maltreatment he is the one who stood by his father when help was needed the most. It's a great song and Gloc 9 is really awesome. This is my first time watching you guys and I'm lovin' u already😘

[@Endtimes7]

Waleska your really good. Your spot on serena is mermaid

[@gregmalapote5395]

RegineV and Sarah G has a live performance of this one in ASAP. You should try and react to that 😉

[@shopp2833]

to you should react to the music video of sirena.so that you can really understand whats in the song.thanks! more power to your channel

[@allnighterowl5347]

That's funny you both are fighting with the meaning of Sirena, when it also means both here in the PH lol

[@rhythm1389]

owww thank you!

[@frederickianflores7779]

If you guys remember « Bagsakan » w/ Francis M., Parokya ni Edgar and Gloc9 is when he was just starting… now, he’s career is already at the peak…

[@aiagalecruz3751]

Sirena Gloc used this as play of words since sirena (mermaid) is usually used to refer to gays. It's delivers a great message an eye opener since it discusses the hardships of a gay person in a traditional family.

[@rhainebarrientos_27]

you should watch the music video of this and turn on the caption. You might cry😢

[@vinceramirez801]

I hope you can also react to gloc 9's "Magda" MV. Story's really great. Gloc 9 writes eye-opener, relevant songs. That's the reason why I find his music so special.

[@jehmanji777]

..you can check Ebe Dancel's band SUGARFREE , for sure you guys goin to like it ! check their songs "Telepono" or "Burnout" 🥰

[@akosibalmond1109]

You guys should have read the 3rd verse. Cause that was very important.

[@eriqjohntan8339]

regine and gloc 9 have a version of sirena,and try to watch "takipsilim" aswell...

[@ezmun013]

i hope you could watch the MV for this song. it really brings out the lyrics to life.

[@ofeliaainesvillalon2266]

Woah! you would like to see the music video of this one... you would understnd the message through it 💛🌻

[@cristiancantiga6040]

0:12 serena in the Philippines has meaning 1.) Mermaids/Siren 2.)Siren alarms 3.) Bisexual or Gay

[@astuginmalupit6531]

It originates from a joke. In a father's attempt to drown his son's gayness away, he used drum of water. Each time he submerge and emerge his son's head from the water, he asked if he's a man or gay. Twice his son answered that he's gay. The 3rd time he drowned him longer hoping it will do the trick but to his surprise he answered "Sirena na ako." Im a mermaid. Because its something majestic.

[@Abdul_JaculBuratsadorSalsalani]

the boy shouted "Sirena na po ako!".. co'z the boy is already wet all the way through as he realizes right then & there that he could breath in the water longer than he thought he could do due to his father's rudeness as well as his willingness to survive.

[@lunar-e.6620]

KING of FILIPINO RAPPERs 1. Francis Magalona 2. Andrew E. Cloc-9 was a back up before of the above rappers.

[@amporu]

I wonder what would be their reaction to andrew e's "humanap ka ng pangit" once they learn about the lyrics lol

[@pastlife6899]

You need to hear dungaw by gloc 9 and Keiko neccesario

[@limuelcruz6259]

U can also react to his song called "Dungaw", that was so good

[@mirasolbueno5311]

Pls react more songs from Gloc 9 😊 their songs are meaningful .I’m your avid fan been watching you ever since 😊

[@AlesterPaladin]

You should watch it's MV. You will understand the meaning of sirena much clearly.
