A Helpful Boy : Filipino Folk Song (Lyrics)

Posted by Sanny Tendilla on
A Helpful Boy (English)
Tagalog Folk Song

A stranger came to town,
The road he did not know.
He met a helpful boy
Who told him where to go.
The stranger thank the boy.
"You're welcome," said the lad.
"I have done a useful turn, and I'm very glad."

Mabait na Bata (Filipino

May taong nagtanong
Ang daan kung saan.
May batang sumagot
"Sa banda po riyan."
"Salamat sa iyo." "Walang anuman."
"Natutuwa akong kayo'y matulungan."

    That last line in English is just a literal translation of the Filipino version, it doesn't sound familiar to the one I learned when I was in elem school, but thank you for your contribution.
