Philippino Song, Anak (Child) - great song, suits the Tagalog language.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioTuTf5w8Qk&mode=related&search= anak in tagalog (freddie aguilar) - super long original version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMkuWh-G_vE&mode=related&search= anak in english
He also translated this into Japanese and made a small fortune. Was a big hit in Asia in the 70s.

Also the Philippino equivalent to "Walzing Matilda" ;) Dahil Sa Iyo - Lettermen - words on screen as it plays.

ANAK ( Child )
by: Freddie Aguilar

English version
When you were born into this world , Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true , The answer to their prayers

You were to them a special child , Gave 'em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried , They're at your side to care

Child, you don't know , You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give , To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here

How many seasons came and went , So many years have now been spent
For time ran fast , And now at last you're strong

Now what has gotten over you , You seem to hate your parents too
Do speak out your mind , Why do you find them wrong

Child you don't know , You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give , To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you near

And now your path has gone astray , Child you ain't sure what to do or say
You're so alone , No friends are on your side

And child you now break down in tears , Let them drive away your fears
Where must you go , Their arms stay open wide

Child you don't know , You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give , To see you through
And God it's true , They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here

Child you don't know , You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give , To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here

******************
PHILIPPINO VERSION

Noong isilang ka sa mundong ito, Laking tuwa ng magulang mo.
At ang kamay nila , ang iyong ilaw.

At ang nanay at tatay mo, 'Di malaman ang gagawin.
Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo.

Sa gabi napupuyat ang iyong nanay , Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo.
At sa umaga nama'y kalong , Ka ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa iyo.

Ngayon nga'y malaki ka na, Nais mo'y maging malaya.
'Di man sila payag, Walang magagawa.

Ikaw nga'y biglang nagbago, Naging matigas ang iyong ulo.
At ang payo nila'y, Sinuway mo.

Hindi mo man lang inisip, Na ang kanilang ginagawa'y para sa iyo.
Pagka't ang nais mo masunod ang layaw mo, 'Di mo sila pinapansin.

Nagdaan pa ang mga araw , At ang landas mo'y naligaw
Ikaw ay nalulon , sa masamang bisyo.

At ang una mong nilapitan , Ang iyong inang lumuluha.
At ang tanong, "Anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan?"

At ang iyong mga mata'y biglang lumuha , Ng 'di mo napapansin
Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo, Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali.

ISA LEI (FIJI)

Isa Isa vulagi lasa dina
Nomu lako, au na rarawa kina
Cava beka, ko a mai cakava
Nomu lako, au na sega ni lasa

Isa Lei,( Isa Lei) Na noqu rarawa ( noqu rarawa)
Ni ko sa na vodo e na mataka ( e na mataka)
Bau nanuma ( Bau nanuma), na nodatou lasa( na nodalasa lasa)
Mai Suva nanuma tiko ga.

English version of song:

Isa Lei

Isa, Isa. You are my only treasure
Must you leave me, so lonely and forsaken
As the roses will miss the sun at dawning
Every moment my heart for you is yearning

Isa Lei, the purple shadows fall
Sad the morrow will dawn upon my sorrow
Oh forget not when you are far away
Precious moments beside Suva Bay

Translation of song

Farewell
Farewell, truly delightful guest/visitor
Your departure is going to cause me sorrow
Whatever the reason for your departure
I will not be happy.

Yearning will be my sorrow
When you embark tomorrow
Just remember our good
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy2NPWHDv80&mode=related&search= some comic doing a freddy aguilar impersonation - posted for the sake any Philippinos on the ASF

btw I know we should try to use english - but then again, the song sounds better in Tagalog, and also musicians are the cheif export of the Philippines ;)

Likewise with Fijian songs - are we going to go there , enjoy their singing - then ban it here? c'mon serious. Also I consider myself a cosmopolite, which combines the two words cosmopolitan, and polite :2twocents - and sure we gain from multiculturalism imho.

PS also I've posted all the french songs I know of, in any case. ;)
 
The Click Song - South African Wedding Song (11 outta 10 this one ;))

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mwh9z58iAU = miriam makeba's click song, NOte this version is a bit quiet , but the introduction is entertaining - try version under for the actual song (louder):-

"UQHO-QHO-QHO" means adam apple. Wait till you hear it pronounced lol. (0m 58s)

IXOXO mean frog. ditto. - Maybe...that's where XXXOOO originated? - this princess was signing off a letter to her frog lover and ...it was mistaken to mean "hugs and kisses" :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_o0XxDF1gI&mode=related&search= same song louder , less humour, more emotion, GREAT version!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHxkiXALQjU&mode=related&search= click song yet again (you cant get too much of this song lol)

thought for the day - these audience are probably applauding without using their hands! lol

overheard on a phonecall between travellling father who rings wife at home ..."have you got a cold?" - "naaa just bit my tongue telling the kids off!"
 
Some of these are “light” and some are pretty “heavy”/ political, but considering Miriam Makebe was fighting the apartheid system, no wonder.

RIVAL cricket fans will be able to chant insulting songs at each other at the Gabba today, thanks to a last-minute copyright peace deal.

Music giant EMI Music Publishing agreed to seek approval from songwriters for parodies of their work, such as Daydream Believer, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, Volare, Lola, Go West and Rock DJ, to be sung by Aussie sports nuts the Fanatics.
"EMI Music Publishing has agreed to seek the necessary approvals to permit the Fanatics to use its songs," a company spokesman said.

Fanatics spokesman Simon Dorrell said the agreement would allow their "friendly ditties" battle with England's Barmy Army to go ahead.

The Fanatics had been told by the English-based company they couldn't print lyrics to the songs or publish them on their website.

But they now plan to hand out the songbook, Six, Jugs & Rock n' Roll, at the Gabba.

LOL - and some pommie challenged us "will you aussies be having your song sheets again? It seemed bizzare that you needed so much organisation to sing one lousy song!"

You gotta accept it- the balmy army would win the supporters trophy - they are naturals at this singing stuff ;) (considering there's only a handful of em) - IF they were allowed to sing their songs, and blow their bugles, and....

- EVEN MEXICAN WAVES banned - sheesh.
rats. the security blokes will ruin the series at this rate.

To think of a joke

The stars
Johnny combs his hair and johnny
Wants pussy and cars
