Wow! This song and the singer never gets old! 8 years old ako nung narinig ko tong song in my tape bought by my mom. And now Im almost 31 at may 2 kids na pero buhay na buhay pa rin itong boses sa kantang ito. 😊

When I saw the part
"ipagpalit ng bagoong"
And she was carrying her baby
And I realized...she gave away her damn baby for food that wont even last a year-

POSSIBLE DARK MEANING OF THIS SONG:

"Babae sa lansangan kung gumiriy parang tandang" = hookers along sidewalks

"Ayaw magpautang uubusin ng langgam" - lyrics itself is dark and sort of cursing someone.

"Bata, pag dating sa maynila ipag palit ng manika" - human trafficking :(

"Sanggol, pag dating sa malabon ipag palit ng bagoong" - lending kids to others probably for adoption. while bagoong represents food/income/wealth as payment for the baby.

Historical context is important: the persona is a parent scaring their child to behave or else the child will be eaten by ants or "traded" away.

ang ganda ng kanta, shows how dark our society, that is being veiled by colorful lies.

BS ENTREP 2-1 Ortega, Dailyn B.
Sitsiritsit ito ay isang awiting bayan na sumasalamin sa normal na buhay ng mga tao sa panahon ng mga kastila. Inilarawan ng kantang ito na sa panahon ng mga kastila dahil nga'y mahirap ang buhay noon, marami ang mga magulang na hinahabilin ang mga anak upang magtrabaho o maging alipin ng mga mayayaman, kapalit ang pagkain, konting tulong o libreng pag-aaral.

POV: You just found out this has a dark meaning

[sxgarfairy]

🇵🇭
Ito yun ibig sabihin sa kanta: yun babae naka payong pinapalit yun baby nya para magkaroon sya ng pagkain
Yun magsasaka nasa bangka nmn pinapalit yun bata nya para may manika sya

🇬🇧
The meaning of the song: the girl with the umbrella is exchanging her baby for food
The farmer with a boat is exchanging his son for a doll
