I am so glad to hear that because I am Taiwanese. I can't speak this language, but before I taught this song for the choir, my friend Edgar Macapili, who is a Filipino conductor living in Taiwan, taught me how to pronounce the texts.

[@mylesgarcia4625]

Maybe this is 5 years later, Ms. Lin. But I am writing an article on the song: what made you chose ROSAN PANDAN for your choir? Thank you very much.

[@OldNoobGaming]

I'm a Filipino from Luzon and I have no idea what this song is about haha. But I do know it's an old folk song. Your Filipino friend is probably from the Visayas region.

[@lovepabo8222]

Jerry Grim The song is in Bisaya.. its a language widely spoken in the south of the Philippines.. and yes the "tigiding" and "tigodong" are sounds used to describe horses running but it also pertains to the young lad's heartbeat as he watches this young lady dance in excitement. It even described him drooling. It's a funny song.

[@josephchandlerceniza3264]

Sorry to burst your bubble but Cebuano is a language not a dialect, we don't call ourselves filipino since in the beginning the people of Cebu existed before Spain arrived in this archipelago, given a chance for a referendum we will separate from this so called Philippines. After all Cebu can stand on its own without the Philippines since before time.

[@natureswarrior9880]

This is our favorite old folksong in the Visayas region of the Philippines, Cebu, Leyte and Mindanao areas. As a Filipino kid, we had to learn this song in our first grade. The song depicts of a young lady from the mountain whose only treasure is to sing a song about courtship she learned from her parents. She showcased this talent in time of festival or celebration in the town.

Original lyric in Philippine Spanish: La rosa más primorosa que floreciera en la primavera la he arrancado esta mañana y en tu ventana vengo a ofrendarte Mi bella rosa bisaya, con mi guitarra vengo a cantarte y a decirte que te adoro que mi tesoro sólo eres tú. Tiquitín tiquitín tiquitín repica la campana, anuncia la mañana va despuntando el día Tiguendum tuguendum tiguendum late mi corazón, mi rosa bisaya asómate a tu balcón.

[@justrandomthings709]

Is it really the original lyrics? That's nice to hear and odd enough it's not about "dodong na nagtabisay ang laway"

[@-cutekey2454]

@@justrandomthings709 nah idk its not even filipino its visayan

[@AngryKittens]

@@justrandomthings709 It's NOT the original version. 😑The song is actually quite modern. The original version is an unreleased zarzuela written by a Cebuano composer, Domingo Lopez, some time before the 1970s. The Visayan lyrics are presumably the original lyrics by Lopez. A TV-friendly version of the lyrics in Tagalog was written by Levi Celerio in 1973 (without the laway), which was made famous by the singer Pilita Corrales. The Spanish version is a modern translation of the Tagalog version of the song by Pilita Corrales' former live-in partner, the Paraguayan singer Amado Sarabia (also known as Amado del Paraguay).
