【Steampianist】 Ang Cariñosa - English Cover 【Umber】

This was intended to be a Halloween upload for last year lol
The moment I heard this song I knew I wanted to cover it. Those guitars. Chef's kiss.
I'm glad it's finally out though! The video was a pain to make but I'm happy with how it came out. Can you tell I discovered the kaleidoscope effect in AE? It's so subtle.
That said, I'm gonna relax on the complexity of the videos I make. This one took almost 24 hours to render. No bueno. It's only been like 3 months since my last upload! I feel like I'm finally getting back into the swing of things. It's good to be back!
Anyways, as always:

Never have I thought an English cover would be possible for a Tagalog vocaloid, but here I am now listening to this masterpiece

[@-SteampunkTraveler-]

Yes

[@thebarrel1051]

I mean there's an English version of the Philippine anthem...

[@Ifckscaramouchedaily]

​@@thebarrel1051 well, that fact is true. Before the Philippines became truly independent, during the era of the Americans. They translated our national anthem to English thus why there's an English version of the Philippine national anthem

[@AshAtropos]

I have synesthesia where I associate sounds with taste (music especially) and I just wanted to say that your voice is creamy chocolate with raspberry and I love it dearly

[@UmbraticForest]

Ahh I love when people with synesthesia tell me what my voice translates to for them! Glad I could give you something tasty to listen to

[@sureindubitably3771]

damnit now I want chocolate ice cream but it's cold af cuz it's raining. Thanks dude /j

[@Arctic_and_The_F0X]

I also have synesthesia but with sound to colors. this song is a deep slightly desaturated purple and crimson

[@Jesuschristurugly]

@@sureindubitably3771 I also want chocolate but my teeth wouldn't like it much🥲

[@aminishnamedvaati]

i dont have synesthesia but this cover defenitly smells like chocolate.

[@ruler_of_dcw]

I didn't have high hopes on how the english translation lyrics will sound but...you absolutely killed it man, the lyrics are amazing... "silver moon, illuminates the truth" is my favorite line

[@acluelessstar]

AGREED i saw "english cover" and braced myself for bad singing or weird lyrics- this blew me away

[@xephalon2623]

the lyrics killed me

[@markhealthcliff3785]

"Go out and find her, that vixen you "love". She's not worthy of you, not at all." IS SO POWERFUL ISTG

[@narrengrahamscott5228]

"You don't understand, I'm obsessed." A wise woman once said

[@ItsAzure]

As a Filipino, somehow and in someway I understood the English version more then the Tagalog version, there was too much words I don't understand, so thus really helped. Great cover👍💖

[@whateverthisis389]

Older works in the Philippines are famous for using fancier, more obscure words especially in Tanagas. Even our Filipino teacher would often claim that Jose Rizal's poems are beyond her understanding because of that.

[@herbertn.oafallas3565]

Ibong Adarna, Florante at Laura, Noli Me Tangere, and El Filibusterismo are taught in high school and there's so many unfamiliar Tagalog words are present with definition and context...

[@whateverthisis389]

​@@herbertn.oafallas3565 I lost the plot of Ibong Adarna and Florante at Laura a long time ago... Noli Me Tangere is nice though and I haven't gotten to El Filibusterismo yet

[@DanksterPaws]

@@herbertn.oafallas3565I could barely read Ibong Adarna 😭

[@TheLittleTanuki]

Bummed not to hear you sing tagalog but this cover is pretty nice! It fits the original work and I feel you really did your research on the song's story. What im saying is that your new lyrics are accurate and your voice and singing is impeciable as always! Great job!

[@UmbraticForest]

I honestly have so little exposure to tagalog that I feel like it would sound disrespectful if I even attempted it lol but thank you! I'm glad you like the english!

[@TheLittleTanuki]

@@UmbraticForest That's totally understandable. Back in high school chior, we had a filipino song and while we were practicing, people buchered the hell out of the pronounciations but we eventually all got it. Great work as always!

[@Lydia_Swenson]

Literal chills at 4:34

[@ZenitsuKunn]

same!

[@crystalryx]

LET'S GO ANG CARINOSA COVER

[@Zarcasi]

I must admit, you really give this song your touch. The calm voice before the madnes, slowly going savage, a wife that can´t handle the betrayal, justifying every sin that he do to her. Great Cover.

[@aleivixxx1196]

AS AN UMBER STAN AND AS A FILIPINO I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT THIS IS LIT. OTSUKARE!!

[@mai_art1729]

SAME! OTSUKARE!

[@bxttercxp_swxxts]

to the first one, I just found this channel, for the second, SAME THIS IS SO GOOD!

[@justagamblingraccoon]

I HAVEN’T HEARD THIS SONG IN AGES TYSM FOR REMINDING ME OF ITS EXISTENCE- SUCH AN AMAZING COVER TOO OML

[@qwertyuiop19283]

What demon did you sell your soul to get a voice that pretty? 🥺🥺🥺

[@theMagical1sa.archived]

Tfw this came up on my results while looking up Cariñosa folk dance videos 👀 I definitely enjoyed listening to your English take -- I liked how you articulated the story in English! I ended up singing along in Tagalog though HAHAHAHAHA Filipino thingz Thanks for sharing your cover! Just in time in August too, aka the Buwan ng Wika/Month of Language in the Philippines. 😀 P.S. love ur voice wwwwwww

[@UmbraticForest]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear I did the English version justice from a native speaker!

[@shijannefortissimo8856]

hhhhh we never got to celebrate Buwan ng Wika ToT for some reason my school cancelled it. it lowkey sucks man

[@theMagical1sa.archived]

@@shijannefortissimo8856 Awh, sayang naman. Why naman gano'n? 😭💔

[@shijannefortissimo8856]

@@theMagical1sa.archived no idea...but I guess there's next year. I was looking forward to seeing everyone's traditional outfits ;-;

[@sankyumiku]

Alright but this cover made me realize that an a capella version of this song would be such a banger

[@sillysilly369]

Lyrics When you swore a vow that you'd love me forever My heart soared through the sky like a bird but one day, the paradise we built together started to fade, until it was just a blur Oh God, how? How did it come to this? Am I the one to blame? It's almost like you don't want me around... Fold my hands in a prayer with a plea I offer to God "Don't let me fall into deep insanity" "Just let me be the one" I just wanna know, in your heart, am I the one you really want? Though I pray that I'm your only, I'm afraid I'm not I just wanna know, even though I know the answer on your tongue spare the smoke and mirrors I trust you when you say I'm the one that you love I swallow the fury that burns deep within me The purple that blooms on my cheek keeps it down It was a gift that you gave me some time ago When I foolishly voiced my fears and doubts silver moon illuminates the truth I saw it all myself- the reason that you aren't ever around Oh my love, don't worry at all I'll pardon this affront Don't trouble yourself by trying to explain I love you anyway I just wanna know, in your heart, am I the one you really want? Though I pray that I'm your only, I'm afraid I'm not I just wanna know, even though I know this coquette is yours spare the smoke and mirrors You've murdered all the trust that I held with your lies Bahay kubo, so small and quaint They can hardly fit in there, where they have been placed A cadaver and a head, The Mother's arm But the brother has nowhere No room left to spare Go out and find her, that vixen you "love" She's not worthy of you, not at all But while I languish in our home all alone, I know Heaven's judgement won't come soon enough, so I'll make you atone Think back to when you said "it's just us two, together 'til death do us part" I just wanna know, in your heart, is love a game or a front? If you don't belong to me, then you don't belong to anyone Now the blood that once flowed through your heart Beating like you once knocked at my door See it spilling over the ceiling and the walls and the floor And the loving heart that you promised me, I deservedly took it Rightfully in my hands where it belongs And it will beat for me eternally

[@khrizanthemums]

I was about to go to bed and then I saw this??? MASTERPIECE???? I loved the original to bits, and I think I might like this one more??? Your voice fits too well oml

[@ZenitsuKunn]

I hope u slept well

[@ZenitsuKunn]

I hope u slept well

[@x.un.finished]

Im starting to see so many Tagalog vocaloidand covers, this makes me unreasonably happy to listen to as a filipino American- my parents never taught me tagalog so i shall just listen to all these masterpieces, english cover and original songs 🥰💖

[@juneamihan224]

only 4 things i need to say here: One is that the translation is perfect Two *How* Three this is a beautiful cover Four you've earnt another subscriber

[@monmon-ms6fu]

YEEEES I LOVE THIS SONG NOW I CAN SING ALONG WITHOUT HORRIBLY BUTCHERING THE LYRICS!

[@Solace6428]

This song smells like... cranberry. Fruity and tart. When I close my eyes, it looks like very smooth shapes with no sharp corners, coloured in a desaturated burgundy and crimson. I wish I could accurately convey the way I experience this song, but it's so difficult to put it into words.

[@spirit_wind]

Oh, okay. (adds to playlist while dancing around)

[@someone_8078]

I know it's just been a month but wow i still keep listening to this and we just had a lesson about the "ang cariñosa"at school

[@GreggoryL]

That performance was absolutely heartwrenching, I'm in awe!

[@materiathief]

i'm so for the emotion and the english lyrics! i love this so much!!

[@shijannefortissimo8856]

okayyy so I'm a little late in finding this one, but eh - the hyperfixation for this song hit late I suppose lol. definitely adding this one to the playlist XD I absolutely love this video. Speaking as a Filipino, the way you translated the story from Tagalog to English exceeded my expectations. It's just so perfect and I think it's beyond accurate! Don't even get me started on the MV, I don't wanna ramble lol (let's just say you've outdone yourself and leave it at that it's late over here oof) Also loved what you did with the Bahay Kubo part, I think it's pretty clever overall, chef's kiss to everything

[@UmbraticForest]

This is such a thoughtful comment, thank you!

[@DanksterPaws]

Same, I found the original one as it came out. Then I never thought of making an english cover until today, then I found this. Saved me the time

[@yourlocalbela7220]

THE VISUALS ARE AMAZING YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING HOLY SHIT

[@PhAnToMkIsS2008]

1) to give serious compliment--I've always loved your covers, your voice is like a dark velvet siren call, especially when paired with certain songs, and this is no exception. 2) listening to this and the original, seeing the story in the lyrics, I feel like a retort from my dad from something unrelated to either sums it up--"Don't play games with her--you leave her, and she'll kill ya!" (you'd laugh at the context where that came from, but it just immediately popped into my mind while listening to this song"

[@Akaria-chan]

Omg this is the absolutely best song cover I’ve ever heard this is amazing!!!! The way you say the lyrics just is beautiful! And the visuals are just amazing! And the way you portray it just makes my Filipino heart dance! 🧡 🧡 🧡

[@impoopingbricksrn]

Extra details timestamps: 0:40 until 0:50 (blinking lights on the fan) basically every part with 3 fans (little movement) reply me if you see any more

[@antagonisticalex401]

See this is how a Cover is done. It added its own charm other than the original song. Absolute fire. Also that voice is to die for and as a boy I'd kill to have a voice like that ngl. But anyways as much as it's obvious I'll still say that this is an Instant Subscription right here. With the bell on ofc.

[@x0_jolli.b]

OML THE VOICE??? THR VOCALS??? ITS SO GOOD I CANT EXPRESS IT

[@noemaroshi]

Oh my gosh! someone artfully and masterfully made an English singable cover of this song! I'm in love with the way it is translated while keeping with the meter of the song. you have great voice too

[@yannsiee]

that harmony~ *proud filipino sounds*

[@juliannaangelei6850]

Woahhh I didn't expect an english cover of Ang Cariñosa but despite that, I thoroughly enjoyed! I love some parts of the lyrics that flowed so well, that was really lovely to listen to! Amazing work!!
