Sitsiritsit Alibangbang Lyrics
Sitsiritsit alibangbang
Salaginto salagubang
Ang babae sa lansangan
Kung gumiri’y parang tandang.
Santo NiƱo sa Pandacan
Puto seco sa tindahan
Kung ayaw kang magpautang
Uubusin ka ng langgam.
Mama, mama namamangka
Pasakayin yaring bata
Pagdating sa Maynila
Ipagpalit sa manika.
Ale aleng namamayong
Pasukubin yaring sanggol
Pagdating sa Malabon
Ipagpalit sa bagoong.
[English Translation]
Cicada, Butterfly
Jeweled beetle, beetle
A woman on the street
Sways her hips like a rooster.
Child Jesus of Pandacan
Dry pastry on the store
If you are not giving credits
The ants will eat all your goodies.
Mister, Mister, rowing a boat
Please take this child for a ride
Once you reach Manila
Trade the child for a doll.
Miss, Miss, holding an umbrella
Please take this baby
Once you reach Malabon
Trade the baby for shrimp paste.
