This was my Dads favorite song. It sang it word for word; He sang this to my Mom. My Dad just recently passed away this March 2024. He sang it recently. Love you Dad, Your son
The audience was both shocked, honored, pleased to hear Nat King Cole singing in Tagalog. But at the same time, you can a little snickering at his making hash out of the language. Cole sang in several languages, phonetically, and was beloved all over the world.
He certainly didn't make hash out of the language.. but rather did a remarkable job in pronouncing most of the words correctly.. according to my Filipino friends.
@@arnoldtrogman Wow, I completely forgot about my comment 9 years ago! No, the audience was poking fun at him but in a loving way, appreciating his awkward effort. I speak Tagalog. Your Filipino friends were putting you on.
My late father worshipped Nat King Cole and had seen him in concert back home in the Philippines (he emigrated to the USA in '66). Anyway, Dad used to say that everyone in the Philippines used to refer to Nat as "The Man with the Refrigerator in his Throat" because his voice was so ridiculously, effortlessly, and other-worldly cool ...
Sorry, I never heard that "alter-title" of NKC in all my years in the Philippines. Further, "refrigerator" is also not a very commonly used term in the Philippines. At that time, "Frigidaire" was the leading icebox brand, thus, like substituting "xerox" for photocopying, it was "Frigidaire" rather than "refrigerator" which was used in common parlance. Thus, I dispute DaftSwank's version of things.
Looks like we may have had the same dad. Lol.. Nat King Cole was practically my uncle because my dad played his records all the time when I was growing up. I still have those records and play them from time to time. We still love Nat King Cole.🙂

I'm in Philippines as of now. I thank you for the translation 🙏 😊.. now with nat's render of the song... I can learn it, then sing it at my Philippines mentor's remembrance ceremony... she honored me in her life ,I honor her. Forever 😇💝
Mr Cole I respect you even more not just because you sang this song, but because you showed your true zeal and heart by embracing the differences in all of us, and unifying everybody through your music and genuine voice. You're no longer here with us physically, but your voice and your ideals will remain with us .
I'm a big fan of Nat King Cole. This is the first time I found out that he had sung a Tagalog song. First time hearing this song and I'm crying so hard. I never expected that one of my all time favorite jazz singers would sing a kundiman. I am in love, honored, pleased, and just in cloud 9. I'm so happy I found this video 💛
im 23 years old right now and part of millenials but one thing that i like the most is that ,classic music makes us experience the old era by listening through it . and know IM A BIG FAN OF KING COLE
This is historical, priceless. My Filipino neighbor played this at a Christmas Party and he and his family all sang along. It was very, very touching. Thanks for posting!!!
OMG, I just now stumbled on this. I love Nat, and today is my mom's birthday. She died 3 months ago, so I was searching for songs she loved. This came up! My mom was the utmost Filipina beauty and she would have loved this. I wish I knew this recording existed before she died. And RIP Natalie, since she too just passed away.
The Great Nat King Cole singing a Filipino Classic Love, left me teary eyed.. I considered this guy one of the greatest singers of the 50's & one of my all time favorite.
I was one of the lucky ones who saw this Nat’s concert in the Araneta Coliseum, Philippines 🇵🇭 in the early 60s, He was one that I love ❤️ then being a great singer as it is today!!! Mr. Nat King Cole, May you Rest in peach and thank you very much!!!
Thanks Mr Nat king Cole for your own rendition of sing dahil sayo it's great pleasure to all Filipino song beautiful version I love it so mutch Your melody...❤❤❤
We will move to the Philippines to live. The Philippines is a beautiful country to live in. Was there in 2010 for 7 months and never had such a wonderful time while I was there. Meet my wife there and she is a very pretty lady and so kind to everyone . She will do anything for me and I would do the same for her. We both love this song very much!!
Dahil sa iyo, nais kong mabuhay Dahil sa iyo, hanggang mamatay Dapat mong tantuin, wala ng ibang giliw Puso ko'y tanungin, ikaw at ikaw rin Dahil sa iyo, ako'y lumigaya Pagmamahal, ay alayan ka Kung tunay man ako, ay alipinin mo Ang lahat ng ito ko, dahil sa iyo
small correction of last line: Ang lahat ng ito'y, dahil sa iyo i noticed that Nat mistakenly ended the 3rd to last line: Pagmamahal, ay alayan ko'y (s/b "ka")
This song is the best song I have ever heard. My sweet wife is from the Philippines and she has made my life so very happy. Only wish I would have meet her sooner in my life.
Allá por 1964 conocí esta hermosa canción interpretada por un conjunto llamado "Los 4 jets". Una hermosa época de Madrid y gratísimos recuerdos de mis amig@s filipin@s.
Nat singing a Filipino song (in TAGALOG, yet), was the most BIZARRE thing I ever stumbled upon on the internet, let alone, that he even went to the Philippines (in 1961, yet), when even Elvis never went there, at any time, before His death. a real SURPRISE!. HE EVEN PRONOUNCED THE WORDS RIGHT!. I'm also surprised that ''Dahil Sayo'' didn't become a top 40 hit in the US, like Kyu Sakamoto's ''Sukiyaki'' did (in Japanese!). and, UNLIKE ''Sukiyaki'', ''Dahil Sayo'' is a song from a World War II US ally, while ''Sukiyaki'' is from the ENEMY! camp, who bombed Pearl Harbor!! (in 1961, MOST Americans still thought of them as the ''Jap backstabbers!1''). still, I LIKE the way he sang it. by the way, I lived in the Philippines, between 1967 and 1976.
Interestingly enough, the japanese seem to be fond of this song too. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/3zic4I3RqQs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/6NvfZJ7kg0s/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/A444dBIkkVw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/snndd4W3RNs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/qk4-ZS-jsLs/w-d-xo.html

i'm 20 yrs old and i love him and idc if other ppl with my age think that i'm too weird well i dont care because his voice is so LIT hahaha i dont know how to describe it it's so AAAAAAAHHHHH lol
My lola used to sing old kundiman songs while washing the dishes, and us laying down for our siestas, i hate siestas, the only thing i love about it is because of my lola singing/humming us to sleep while the summer wind blows. I miss those days
You know this filipino song is a classic if the Great Nat king cole chose to sing it..Did a great job also but he can sing in Martian and still sound great but that was Nat but this song one my favorite tagalog love songs all time like the Filipino anthem u not filipino if u never heard this song!
maybe im so young during his music..and actually i dont still exists in this world when he died..but i love his music....some of them i heared during sunday's program of music radio stations which they played music of 50's...
EVERYone should worship Nat Cole! If there was a man with a 'refrigerator in his throat' (unfortunately Salem cigarettes) it was him - and Karen Carpenter was probably the woman with a refrigerator in HER throat... My mother was literally afraid of afro-americans, despite my father's friends, but SHE worshiped Nathaniel Adams Coles.

When was this sang by mr.nat and where?
@@filomenojrcusi7906 , I think it was in 1966 at the Araneta Coliseum when he came to the Philippines.
The best version of the song “ Dahil Sa Iyo “ One of the greatest romantic Filipino song. Nat King Cole is my best singer.
What a beautiful, heavenly voice! If I had another singing voice, I would want it to be his.
Just discovered this and my mind is really blown away. Really a legend will always be a legend.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was one of the lucky ones who saw this Nat’s concert in the Araneta Coliseum, Philippines 🇵🇭 in the early 60s,
He was one that I love ❤️ then being a great singer as it is today!!! Mr. Nat King Cole, May you Rest in peach and thank you very much!!!

Sorry bati kog english hahahahah
Am proud to ba a Filipino, love his rendition of dahil sa iyo it makes me cry every time i heard this song

Pagmamahal, ay alayan ka
Kung tunay man ako, ay alipinin mo

i noticed that Nat mistakenly ended the 3rd to last line: Pagmamahal, ay alayan ko'y (s/b "ka")
This song is the best song I have ever heard. My sweet wife is from the Philippines and she has made my life so very happy. Only wish I would have meet her sooner in my life.

Best rendition of this song ever!

@@PinoyAbnoy the old generation got brain washed. But the later know their history. Back in the early 90s the senators who voted for the removal of us bases in the philippines were treated as heroes
It's because of the Olympics that Sukiyaki was more popular. Also the singer's untimely death :((
crowd's reaction, amazing!
He's one of my grandfather's favorite balladeer, and mine too.
*AMAZING...!* 🧡🧡
