Lyrics And Video Of The Philippine Children Song “Magtanim Ay Di Biro”
MAGTANIM AY DI BIRO – Here is the full lyrics and the video of one of the well-known Filipino children song “Magtanim Ay Di Biro”.
There are many well-known Filipino children songs that we still know until now like Bahay Kubo, Ako Ay May Lobo, Sitsiritsit, and more. One of these songs is this particular song about farming.
The song also literally implying that farming is really “no joke” and the hardships and benefits farmers face in their everyday lives like the physical pain they have to endure while farming, especially on their arms, waist and legs, as they venture into the fields; the food they will get from the plants they farm, especially rice; and the fact that they have to farm daily in order to prepare for tomorrow.
Until now, like most Filipino folk songs, this particular song is until now popular, especially to children and is sung nationwide.
Here is the full lyrics of this Filipino children song:
Magtanim ay di biro,
Maghapong nakayuko.
Di man lang makaupo,
Di man lang makatayo.
Braso ko’y namamanhid,
Baywang ko’y nangangawit.
Binti ko’y namimitig,
Sa pagkababad sa tubig.
Sa umagang paggising,
Ang lahat iisipin.
Kung saan may patanim
May masarap na pagkain.
Braso ko’y namamanhid,
Baywang ko’y nangangawit.
Binti ko’y namimitig,
Sa pagkababad sa tubig.
Halina, halina, mga kaliyag.
Tayo’y magsipag unat-unat.
Magpanibago tayo ng lakas,
Para sa araw ng bukas.
Para sa araw ng bukas!
