Lyrics and translation Lea Salonga - Paruparong Bukid

Paruparong Bukid

Paruparong bukid na lilipad-lipad
Sa gitna ng daan papaga-pagaspas
Isang bara ang tapis
Isang dangkal ang manggas
Ang sayang de kola
Isang piyesa ang sayad

May payneta pa siya
May suklay pa man din
Nagwas de-ohetes ang palalabasin
Haharap sa altar at mananalamin
At saka lalakad nang pakendeng-kendeng

May payneta pa siya — uy!
May suklay pa man din — uy!
Nagwas de-ohetes ang palalabasin
Haharap sa altar at mananalamin
At saka lalakad nang pakendeng-kendeng
At saka lalakad nang pakendeng-kendeng

Butterfly of the Countryside

Butterfly of the countryside, flying about
In the middle of the road, fluttering its wings
A skirt that's just a wrap
A shirt barely an inch long
Oh, how precious she is
Her skirt barely covers her thighs

She wears a comb in her hair
And a hairpin too
She'll put on her earrings when she goes out
She'll face the altar and look in the mirror
And then she'll walk with a sway in her hips

She wears a comb in her hair — hey!
And a hairpin too — hey!
She'll put on her earrings when she goes out
She'll face the altar and look in the mirror
And then she'll walk with a sway in her hips
And then she'll walk with a sway in her hips
