Daw Pispis nga Bukaw (Hiligaynon Folk Song) - Modern Acoustic Version

DAW PISPIS NGA BUKAW — Hiligaynon / Ilonggo Folk Song Daw Pispis Nga Bukaw (“Like an Owl”) is a poignant traditional Ilonggo song that expresses the loneliness, longing, and suffering of someone caught in unfulfilled love. The song compares the singer's situation to a bukaw, a nocturnal bird often associated with solitude. The imagery of the lonely bird becomes a metaphor for a heart that suffers quietly, especially when love is not returned. The lyrics speak of enduring emotional pain, remembering promises of love, and longing for the affection of the beloved. The song's emotional refrain captures the heart of the piece: a person pleading with his own heart to endure the pain of love and separation. Its simple but deeply expressive imagery reflects the characteristic poetic quality of traditional Hiligaynon song. The composer of this traditional song is unknown. As an old traditional folk song with no known composer, Daw Pispis Nga Bukaw is considered part of the public domain. 📝 LYRICS • 🎸 CHORDS • 🎵 MINUS-ONE • 🎤 VOCALS DAW PISPIS NGA BUKAW Daw pispis nga bukaw ang kahalimbawa Sining kahimtangan nga tuman kapiot Ang pispis nga maya wala gid maawa. Sining akon gugma nga nagpuluryakot. O dughan antusa nga pilit Mga kalisdanan nga wala sing sanglit Mamatay gid ining kailo Kon dili mo tamdon bulak nga magayon. 🌐 Literal English Translation LIKE AN OWL BIRD Like an owl bird is the likeness of this condition, so utterly difficult. The maya bird showed no pity at all for this love of mine that is in turmoil Oh heart, endure it patiently, These hardships that have no relief This poor wretched one will surely die If you do not look upon the beautiful flower. 🎸 Download Guitar Chords: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GPbz... 🎵 Download Instrumental (Minus One): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--tf... 🎤 Download Vocals Only (A Cappella): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qtni... 🔔 Please subscribe, like, share, leave a comment, and share this video with your friends.
