For those who didn’t know, the lullaby became scary when it was used as a soundtrack for a scary movie with this arrangement

[motivationontop]

Sounds like an angel, I wouldn’t be scared

[Acer]

The way she pronounces it perfectly almost like its native really impresses me as a filipino speaker.

This is a Filipino lullaby famous here in the Philippines. This song itself is not scary but the gifted singer gave it another identity through her interpretation.

[ZarQuerty]

I wouldn't be scared if i heard this, her voice is just wow.

Im a Filipino and this is one of the most nostalgic song I’ve learned when I was young. Great angelic voice.

The song is actually a Visayan lullaby... but during the Japanese occupation there was a dark story the actual translation was "Little one, little one,
sleep now
Your mother is not here,
She went to buy some bread
Little one, little one,
sleep now." bread is so rare in the Philippines in that context its impossible for the mother to gind and buy one metaphorically that time that signifies that the mother will not comming back home because she was taken by the Japanese to be their salaves or sex slaves that is why there are comfort women. And it was said that the mother died singing that song for her baby longing for the baby.. That is why some Filipinos where scared when they here the song cause it was like a song singing by a vengeful spirit of a mother that was taken away from her baby...
