lyrics
Bakya mo, Neneng, luma at
kupas na
Ngunit may bakas pa ng luha mo, Sinta
Sa alaala’y muling nagbalik pa
Ang dating kahapong tigib ng ligaya.
Ngunit may bakas pa ng luha mo, Sinta
Sa alaala’y muling nagbalik pa
Ang dating kahapong tigib ng ligaya.
.
Ngunit, irog ko, bakit isang
araw
Hindi mo ginamit ang bakya mo, aking hirang?
Hindi mo ginamit ang bakya mo, aking hirang?
.
Sa wari ko ba’y di mo kailangan
‘Pagkat kinupasan ng ganda at kulay.
.
Ang aking pag-asa’y saglit na
pumanaw
Sa bakya mo, Neneng, na di nasilayan.
Sa bakya mo, Neneng, na di nasilayan.
.
Kung inaakalang ‘yan ay munting bagay,
Huwag itapon, aking buhay,
Ang aliw ko kailanman.
Kung inaakalang ‘yan ay munting bagay,
Huwag itapon, aking buhay,
Ang aliw ko kailanman.
A classic Filipino folk
song made as a theme for the movie of the 40's of the same title. While
"bakya" is a term used to mean wooden shoes worn by Filipino women
during an era when conservatism was at its highest peak, their portrayal of
being domestic, suave, tame and sweet in nature, while "neneng" meant
a young lass. The movie starred Leopoldo Salcedo, an icon of the Philippine
movies at that time, as compared with John Wayne, an icon of American movies
and Rosa Del Rosario, queen of the Philippine movies, who likewise appeared in
movies as a local Bionic Woman with German and American descent.
