Sitsiritsit: Filipino Folk Songs (Lyrics and Karaoke)

Sitsiritsit

by: Nora Aunor

Sitsiritsit, alibangbang
Salaginto't salagubang
Ang babae sa lansangan
Kung gumiri'y parang tandang!

Santo Nino sa Pandacan,
Puto seko sa tindahan,
Kung ayaw kang magpautang,
Uubusin ka ng langgam.

Mama, mama, namamangka,
Pasakayin yaring bata,
Pagdating sa Maynila,
Ipagpalit ng manika.

Ale, ale, namamayong,
Pasukubin yaring sanggol,
Pagdating sa Malabon,
Ipagpalit ng bagoong.

(English Rough Translation)
Sitsiritsit, butterfly
Small beetle, big beetle
The woman in the street
Acting like a fighting cock

Santo Niño in Pandacan
Rice Puto in the store.
If you do not want to lend?
You will be eaten by the ants.

Lady, lady with umbrella,
Let the baby be with you
When you get to Malabon
Exchange her by shrimp paste.

Mister, mister, on the boat
Let the child in the boat
When it get to Manila
Trade him for a doll.
