Lyrics - Tagalog
(Folk song from the Philippines)
Leron, leron, sinta,
Buko ng papaya,
Dala dala’y buslo,
Sisidlan ng sinta;
Pagdating sa dulo’y,
Nabali ang sanga,
Kapos kapalaran,
Humanap ng iba.
English Translation - Leron, Leron my love
Leron, Leron, my love,
Papaya sprouts above
Take up, take up a basket, oh!
To hold the fruit, my love,
Upon reaching the top, oh!
The branch broke
What bad luck
I’ll find someone else.
