My loose translation for those who don't know Tagalog: 1. How I wish my old days as a child in my mother's presence won't fade. I wish to hear my mother's song once more, a song of love while I'm in the cradle. 2. While I sleep with so much silence, the stars are my guard and my watchmen. In my mother's bosom, my life is heaven. My sorrowful heart misses the cradle's rocking. (repeat 1 and 2) (coda) I want to sleep in my old cradle, o Mother....

At the age of 73, it is only now that I appreciate this song, because it is true, Sa piling ni Nanay, langit ang buhay.

another translation I hope that my memory of days past when I was just a small child in my mother’s comforting embrace shall not fade. I wish that I could still listen to the song of love that my beloved mother would sing to me as she gently rocks me to sleep nestled in my cradle. I would fall in deep slumber with celestials as my watchers and stars as my guardians. Heaven was in my mother’s arms. My grieving heart still longs for when I was still in my cradle being rocked to sleep. B

Omg, made me cry. We sang that song on my mother’s funeral ( her request before she died)😞

It made me cry as now my mother is suffering from dementia. Recalled all her sacrifices for us. 😔Living here in abroad i never heard this song for ages.

The best lullabye there is...

Levi Celerio the lyricist of this song claimed once during his interview that he drew inspiration of this song from Mothers who were members of Guerilla Movement during WWII against Japanese Imperial Forces...Mothers who would make their Children sleep before going to battle which mostly didn't came back home...how heartbreaking...

I was crying watching this.. About A child and her mom.. 😢

we performed this song when i was 12, now im 41. I can still recall the song by heart

What a beautiful song I found this by mistake and I'm grateful that I did.

I miss my mother. She's in a better place now... 💔

Everytime this song is played in a mall or anywhere we Filipinos pause for a moment to reminisce our undying love for our mothers... Thank you so much...

This song is very important to filipino people because the meaning of the song is about the mother and the child..... the mother love his child and protect from all harm ...... a mothers love

This one hits me from my soul..i miss my mom..its been 4years when she's gone😭😭

This is one of my favorite compositions of Prof. Lucio San Pedro, my teacher in counterpoint and composition.

Oh my…. This song is very sentimental for us Filipinos. It literally made me burst into tears, thanks for a wonderful rendition. Bravo!

Perfection and amazing specially they are foreigner who sang this Filipino folk songs.

GOOSEBUMPS CENTRAL!!! THE CHOIR IS AMAZING

Thank you for this masterpiece, you guys literally made me cry..❤

They sang the lyrics perfectly - something you can hardly find among Filipino pop singers. The diction is almost perfect.

I miss you, Mama. 😢 We should have sung this at your funeral. But then again, I won't be able to hold back my tears. I love you. Thank you for this, I needed this today.

Every day is a mother's day. Kapag naririnig mo ang himig na Ito patungkol sa ating mga butihing ina.

Fantastic! This song always makes me cry😭. Maybe bec I'm already a mother & I miss my Mom so much.

What a beautiful rendition. We Filipinos are honored!

i remembered my mom. she just passed away last year. 🥺

Even if one can't understand the lyrics but know what the song is about, the melody will still make you cry and miss your mother...

This brings tears of longing for my mother. Love is forever

What a beautiful sound!!! The piano accompaniment added loneliness to the song. It brought back childhood memories and the tears started to fall..

When I die, I want them to play this in my funeral.

Wow! Great job USC! A beautiful rendition of my favorite Tagalog lullaby, and this is coming from a Bruin lol

every time I hear this, I remember that Tagalog movie ABAKADA... Ina (A.B.C.D. Mother)

This song is really dedicated to our loving mother!

Beautiful rendition of a Filipino lullaby.

Thank you for singing this Filipino tribute song for our mothers. I'm crying, you did it a great justice.

So touching rendtion, nakakamiss si nanay...

It sounds so good. As a kid, my grandma used to sing this to me to sleep.

Wow! beautiful, I can listen to this over and over. Thanks for sharing. God bless

Makes me remember the unfading love of my mother! Amazing performance!

it's a WOW! and comforting.

Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan Refrain: Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing Ang bantay ko'y tala, ang tanod ko'y bituin Sa piling ni nanay, langit ay buhay Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing Ang bantay ko'y tala, ang tanod ko'y bituin Sa piling ni nanay, langit ay buhay Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan Sana’y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan Nais kong matulog sa dating duyan ko, inay Oh! inay

Believe it or not during liturgy, we sing this piece in our church. it's one of our favorite communion songs

OMG, ang galing. for me, this is best rendition of this song i heard so far.

so perfect...bravissimo such harmony...so soft , slow...make me remember my mom who past away...only sweet memories when i was a child...tears just kept pouring...love this rendition...mabuhay to you!

It's Lucio San Pedro, he's a Filipino national artist so it would be great if you complete his name. ;-) Great execution of his song.

This song reminded me how my mother loves me so much...

Excellent arrangement & rendition. Though many consider this a lullaby, the lyrics are from the child's (albeit matured child) point of view. I appreciate the choir's decision to take on a difficult song.

beautifully sung.
