Lyrics - Filipino
(Folk song from the Philippines)
Sasara ang bulaklak, bubuka ang bulaklak,
Papasok ang reyna, sasayaw ng chacha
Boom tiyaya boom tiyaya boom yeye
Boom tiyaya boom tiyaya boom yeye
English Translation - The Flower Closes
The flower closes, the flower opens,
The queen will enter, the chacha will dance
Boom tiyaya boom tiyaya boom yeye
Boom tiyaya boom tiyaya boom yeye
