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....
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
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.
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...
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
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
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.
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!
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.
Everytime we hear a filipino song, sang by foriegn choir, it makes your heart melt when they sing it.. but when they sing a song like this. You want them to hug and say thank you with all our heart.

Not the official translation but somehow closer and more poetic.
LULLING CRADLE
Translation Copyright © J.Gi Federizo
Those good old days, I pray won't fade
When I was young and in Mother's care
Oh, to hear dear Mother's lullaby again
The song of love as she rocked my cradle.
In my deep and peaceful slumber
The stars watch over me in vigil
Life was like heaven in the arms of Mother
Now my heart longs for the lulling cradle.
Those good old days, I pray won't fade
When I was young and in Mother's care
Oh, to hear dear Mother's lullaby again
The song of love as she rocked my cradle.
Lull me, Mother, in my dear old cradle
Oh, 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.
Thank you for this masterpiece, you guys literally made me cry..❤
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...
What a beautiful sound!!! The piano accompaniment added loneliness to the song. It brought back childhood memories and the tears started to fall..
Fantastic! This song always makes me cry😭. Maybe bec I'm already a mother & I miss my Mom so much.
This is one of my favorite compositions of Prof. Lucio San Pedro, my teacher in counterpoint and composition.
I miss my mother. She's in a better place now... 💔
❤️
Sorry😭
What a beautiful song I found this by mistake and I'm grateful that I did.
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.
we performed this song when i was 12, now im 41. I can still recall the song by heart
Oh my…. This song is very sentimental for us Filipinos. It literally made me burst into tears, thanks for a wonderful rendition. Bravo!
❤❤❤
Every day is a mother's day. Kapag naririnig mo ang himig na Ito patungkol sa ating mga butihing ina.
Wow! beautiful, I can listen to this over and over. Thanks for sharing. God bless
I was crying watching this.. About A child and her mom.. 😢
The best lullabye there is...
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 brings tears of longing for my mother. Love is forever
Perfection and amazing specially they are foreigner who sang this Filipino folk songs.
I just wonder why foreign countries sing filipino folk songs?
Thank you for singing this Filipino tribute song for our mothers. I'm crying, you did it a great justice.
They sang the lyrics perfectly - something you can hardly find among Filipino pop singers. The diction is almost perfect.
What a beautiful rendition. We Filipinos are honored!
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...
GOOSEBUMPS CENTRAL!!! THE CHOIR IS AMAZING
Wow! Great job USC! A beautiful rendition of my favorite Tagalog lullaby, and this is coming from a Bruin lol
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
