Dandansoy is a popular Hiligaynon folk song in Western Visayas. The song depicts a woman who left her lover named Dandansoy for her hometown, she tells him that should he miss her, he should follow her her home and prove his love.

Background[edit]

The folk song is believed to have originated in Culasi, Antique at the turn of the 20th century when migrant workers (sacadas) from Panay moved to Negros Occidental for harvesting sugar cane, which explains the emotion found in the song.[1][2]

Lyrics[edit]

Hiligaynon lyrics[3] α[edit]

Dandansoy, bayaan ta ikaw
Pauli ako sa Payao
Ugaling kon ikaw hidlawon
Ang Payao imo lang lantawon

Dandansoy, kon imo apason
Bisan tubig di magbalon
Ugaling kon ikaw uhawon
Sa dalan magbubon-bubon.

Kumbento, diin ang kura?
Munisipyo, diin hustisya?
Yari si Dansoy makiha
Makiha sa paghigugma

Ang panyo mo kag panyo ko
Dal-a di kay tambihon ko
Ugaling kon magkasilo
Bana ta ikaw, asawa mo ako.

In popular culture[edit]

The folk song inspired the 1965 film of the same name which starred Susan Roces and Bob Soler.[4] Furthermore, its popularity can be attributed to the song's arrangements being found in various publications, in the record albums of the Mabuhay Singers' Ohoy Alibangbang (1970) and in Express Record's Golden Marimba, and is featured in Nora Aunor's single.[1] The song was also made into a lullaby together with other Philippine songs through the Cultural Center of the Philippines' Himig Himbing: Mga Heleng Atin, a project undertaken to promote indigenous lullabies.[2][5]
