It is a song in Hiligaynon, which was penned in the early 20th century by a congressman from the province of Iloilo Augurio Abeto.

Dalawidaw, according to Visayan Daily Star, was a song of rejection of Japanese forces and was part of the propaganda to uplift the spirits of Filipinos fighting the invasion

Lyrics

Here are the following lyrics of the song, uplifted from TagalogLang:

Dalawidaw ikaw kon mag-ambahanon,
Yuhum mong balanihon may binalaybay
Duhang larawan mo sa dalamgohanon
Diwata sa bukid kag kataw sa baybay.

Diwata sa talon, bulak nga ilahas
Sa kapalaran nga daw gapasimpalad,
Alibangbang lamang labing makahas,
Makigsuyop sang kayuyom sinang sipad.

Yadtong kagab-ihon nga punong himaya
Sa isang payag kita nagsumpa-anay
Didto ta pinang-gas ang dili malaya,
Putling handumanan sang gugmang panganay.

English Version

Here is the English translation of the lyrics:

You are a dalawidaw* when you sing,
Your magnetic smile is poetry
In the dream you have two images
A forest fairy and a sea nymph.

. . .

That beautiful night, a glorious one
In a small hut we pledged our love
And it was there we planted a living seed,
A pure remembrance of our first love.
