Ang Tahanan (The Home) - Filipino folk song for the celebration of Family Week

Ang Tahanan (Tagalog Lyrics)

Filipino Version

Ang tahanan ay isang pugad ng pagmamahal,

Bata at matanda man doo'y ligaya ang taglay,

Sa ilalim sa may pampang, dampa ko'y matatanaw

Hanap kong lagi'y iyan, saan man maglakbay.

Koro:

Ang tahanan ko'y ito kahit pawid ang bubong

Sa init man at bagyo, dito ako nagkakanlong.

Kahit na ito'y dampa at ang dingding po'y sira

Sa aki'y palasyo na, pugad ng tuwa't saya.

(Ulitin ang Koro)

Tuwa, tuwa at saya

Tuwa at saya, at saya...

The Home (English Version)

Home is where the heart is young,

Home is where sweet peace abides,

Home is where the young and old 

seek shelter and where joy resides.

Close beside a ripling rill,

stands my humble little home

Calling me such happy names,

wherever I may roam.

Chorus:

This is home, my humble home

Bamboo, nipa shape its form.

Parents, children live and work

In this shelter from the storm

Others boast of mansions great.

This is home, sweet home for me

Here is where my heart is free

Best of homes on land and sea.

(Repeat Chorus)

Land and sea, land and sea,

Land and sea, land and sea

Land and sea....
