Mutya ng Pasig Kay Ganda Ng

Sa Ugoy Ng Duyan Ang Pipit Lyrics
(Nicanor Ating Musika
(Lucio San Pedro) (Levi Celerio)
Abelardo) (Ryan Cayabyab)
Kung gabing ang Magmula no'ng ako'y Sana'y di magmaliw May pumukol sa
buwan natutong umawit ang dati kong araw Pipit sa sanga ng
Sa langit ay Naging makulay ang Nang munti pang bata ng isang kahoy
nakadungaw; Tila aking munting daigdig sa piling ni nanay At nagahip ng
ginigising ng Tila ilog pala ang Nais kong maulit ang bato ang pakpak
habagat paghimig awit ni inang mahal ng munting ibon
Sa kanyang Kung malalim, Awit ng pag-ibig Dahil sa sakit, di
pagtulog sa tubig; damdami'y pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa nakaya pang
Ang isang larawang Kung umapaw, ang duyan lumipad At ang
puti at busilak kaluluwa't tinig nangyari ay
Nalugay ang buhok Ay sadyang Sana'y di magmaliw nahulog ngunit
na animo'y agos; nanginginig ang dati kong araw parang taong
Ito ang Mutya ng Nang munti pang bata bumigtas
Pasig Magmula no'ng ako'y sa piling ni nanay Mamang kay lupit,
Ito ang Mutya ng natutong umawit Nais kong maulit ang ang puso mo'y di
Pasig Bawat sandali'y aking awit ni inang mahal na nahabag
pilit mabatid Awit ng pag-ibig Pag pumanaw
Sa kanyang Ang himig na habang ako'y nasa ang buhay ko,
pagsiklot Sa maituturing atin duyan may isang pipit na
maputing bula Mapupuri pagka't Sa aking pagtulog na iiyak
Kasabay ang awit bukod-tangi labis ang himbing Ang May isang pipit na
Kasabay ang tula: Di marami ang di- bantay ko'y tala, ang iiyak, may isang
magsasabing Heto tanod ko'y bituin Sa pipit na iiyak
Dati akong na't inyong dinggin piling ni nanay, langit
paraluman Sa Kay ganda ng ating ay buhay
kaharian ng pag- musika Puso kong may dusa
ibig Kay ganda ng ating sabik sa ugoy ng
Ang pag-ibig ng musika duyan
mamatay Naglaho Ito ay atin, sariling
rin ang kaharian atin Sana'y di magmaliw
At sa habang buhay ang dati kong araw
Ang lakas ko ay awitin natin. Nang munti pang bata
nalipat sa piling ni nanay
Sa puso’t dibdib ng Magmula no'ng ako'y Nais kong maulit ang
lahat; natutong umawit awit ni inang mahal
Kung nais ninyong Nagkabuhay muli ang Awit ng pag-ibig
ako'y mabuhay aking paligid habang ako'y nasa
Pag-ibig ko'y Ngayong batid ko na duyan
inyong ibigay ang umibig
Sa aking pagtulog na
Sa sariling tugtugtin o labis ang himbing Ang

The general message of the song "Mutya ng Pasig" is about the suffering and
unhappiness of a woman (the mutya) whose fate led her to lose the love of her life. The
composer of this song is the musical poet - Nicanor Abelardo.
There are two perspectives in the song. At the first part, you will hear the narrator or poet.
He describes the setting and the woman in the song. And at the latter part, you will hear the
second person, a woman, describing who she was before and what happened to her life and
what she wants now.

Kay Ganda ng ating Musika was the song of Hajji Alejandro. He is a Filipino singer
and actor, who was a major pop star in the 1970s and 1980s. The song was original
composition of Ryan Cayabyab also known as Mr. C. He is a Filipino musician, composer
and conductor. He was named a National Artist of the Philippines in 2018.

Ugoy ng Duyan Also known in the official English translation “The Sway Of The Baby
Hammock”, it is made by Lucio San Pedro, a composer and teacher and is also one of the
National Artist of the Philippines for Music. The lyrics of the song, however, were written by
another composer and lyricist named Levi Celerio, who is also a National Artist of the
Philippines for Music and Literature. The famous song about the love and care of a mother is
one of their famous collaboration pieces as it is sung by many famous artists such as Pilita
Corales, Lea Salonga, Regine Velasquez, Aiza Seguerra and more.

The famous Filipino folk song “Ang Pipit” has a sad story. If we will try to interpret the
lyrics literally, it talks about a bird who was hit by a stone. The poor creature was unable to
fly because of the pain and the severity of the injury so it fell from the tree. But before it hit
the ground, it expressed its worry that another bird will be sad by the former’s demise and
that the man was too cruel for taking an innocent living being's life.

recordings of a piece of music for which the rights
owners (composer, recording artist, or copyright-holding
record company) did not give consent. In the
