Uyayi, the Philippine lullaby
Sometimes spelled oyayi. Another Tagalog word for 'lullaby' is hele.
Matulog ka na, bunso,
Ang ina mo ay malayo
At hindi ka masundo,
May putik, may balaho.
TAGALOG-ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF LYRICS
Matulog ka na, bunso
Sleep now, youngest one
Ang ina mo ay malayo
Your mother is far away
at hindi ka masundo
and she can't come for you
May putik, may balaho
There's mud, there's a swamp
Ang ina mo ay malayo
At hindi ka masundo,
May putik, may balaho.
