bulyaw mariguen is
a game (karawat)...
bulyaw mariguen is the cuyono version of the game HIDE and SEEK. It was popular in the little island of Cuyo, Palawan, Philippines during the time that electricity in CUYO was only supplied from 6 in the morning to 12 midnight (1990S). Children, then, loved playing Bulyaw Mariguen in the wild (mariguen) guided by the light of the moon.
Photo Taken by Diego Dobles of Kamaru Productions
bulyaw mariguen starts with the it (budi) covering his eyes and chanting bawal ag-upot sa marapit (hiding near the it is prohibited) to give the other players time to find a place to hide. Once the chanting is over, the it tries to look for the other players. Once the it finds one of the players, he/she holds on to him/her and shouts BULYAW MARIGUEN!!!. The player that the it finds becomes the new it.
Eventually, with the advent of technology, Bulyaw Mariguen disappeared in the vocabulary of young Cuyonons. This is the reason why BULYAW MARIGUEN (the band) chose this name. To them, this game is a symbol of Cuyonon culture that must be revived or at least made known to the young Cuyonons.
a band (banda)...
bulyaw mariguen is a band composed of 4 Cuyono musicians coming from different generations and different professions. Due to their desire to express themselves in music that makes use of their own Cuyono language, of creating music that they can call their own and that young Cuyonons can enjoy and relate to and their vision of having Cuyono music diversify (from folk to different genres)and contribute to its development, the 4 musicians below formed Bulyaw Mariguen.
VOCALS (KANTA): CHRISTOPHER "TOPZ" PEREZ
BACK-UP VOCALS: LEONARD "POPOY" DELA TORRE
GITARA (LEAD): FRANZ ABID
BAHO (BASS): LEONARD "POPOY" DELA TORRE
TAMBOR (DRUMS):PHILIP ABID

an
advocacy...a response to a need for
self-expression...a response to a need for
representation in Palawan's media institutions...a means to entice
teenagers to learn the Cuyono language...a means to somehow change
the perception of the Palaweno youth about Cuyono music and
language...a means to take part in
developing Cuyono music (diversify Cuyono music genres) ...a means to move Cuyono and
Palawenyo history...hardwork and will...

SUNLIGHT
TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO
The night is deep
sounds of night creatures abound
my eyes are already weary
but my spirit is awake
My mind is thinking very fast
tumultuous, it's hard to understand
thoughts that come to my mind
sounds that are defeaning
CHORUS
as the world keeps on turning
as the wind blows fast
as the rain drops heavily
my spirit is with you
as the hands of the clock quickly tick
i don't know when
but the painful rays of the sun
will bring light to my mind
repeat chorus
i will come with you, if you will take me with you (2x)
LIGHT
TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO
THE SUN IS SMILING AGAIN TO ME TO YOU MY FRIEND
LET US NOT WASTE OR IGNORE SUCH TIMES
THE IMPORTANCE/THE LIFE/LET US PUT THEM TO GOOD USE
LET US NOT THINK OF THE HARDSHIPS AND BURDENS THAT COME TO US
REFRAIN
BECUSE THE SUN IS THERE TO ALWAYS SMILE TO YOU
THE MOON AND THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE THE ONES THAT WILL GIVE US THE LIGHT
CHORUS
LIGHT, YOU ARE MY LIGHT, LIGHT
THE SUN IS SMILING AGAIN TO ME TO YOU TO US ALL
LET US NOT WASTE IT, LET US FACE IT WITH COURAGE IN OUR SOULS
LET US THINK THAT EVEN IF IT'S HARD, WE CAN FACE IT
LET US FORGET OUR PROBLEMS AND WORRIES IN EVERYTHING
REPEAT REFRAIN AND CHORUS
STAND UP MY FRIEND, DO NOT LOSE HOPE
THERE ARE PLENTY OF THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO, HAVE FAITH
IF IT RAINS DO NOT WORRY
BECAUSE THE SUN, THE STARS AND THE MOON WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TO GIVE US LIGHT
STAND UP IF YOU FALL
TELEGRAM
TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO
I VISITED YOUR HOUSE ONE DAY
WANTED TO COURT YOU BUT YOU WERE NOT THERE
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE PARTED WAYS
I HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD OR NEWS ABOUT YOUR LIFE SINCE THEN
I ASKED PERMISSION FROM YOU THAT I'LL BE LEAVING
BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO WRITE OR EVEN SEND A TELEGRAM
THE TIMES ARE TOUGH, YOU ARE FARAWAY FROM ME
BUT MY SOUL AND LOVE IS WITH YOU
MY LOVE IS WITH YOU, WITH YOU, MY LOVE IS WITH YOU
CHORUS
NOTHING IS CHANGED, NOTHING CHANGED
NOTHING IS CHANGED, NOTHING COULD REPLACE YOU
I HOPE THAT THROUGH THIS SONG YOU COULD HEAR
THE DEPTH OF MY EMOTIONS
TRUE LOVE THAT I AM OFFERING YOU
TRUE LOVE THAT I OFFER YOU
TO YOU, I AM OFFERING YOU
REPEAT CHORUS
FORGIVE ME FOR MY WRONGDOINGS
FORGIVE ME FOR WHAT I'VE DONE (2X)
FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS
NOTHING HAPPENED
TRANSLATED BY: JOEY FABELLO & ANITA DELA TORRE
WE DON’T NEED TO LOOK BACK AT THE PAST
WHILE WE’RE TOGETHER NOW AND HAVING FUN
THOUGH YOU HAVE A NEW PARTNER, I’VE ALREADY ACCEPTED IT
WITHOUT ANY GRUDGES
ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN US I STILL CANNOT FORGET
WHY DO WE HAVE TO LIE THAT BETWEEN US NOTHING HAPPENED
CHORUS
YOU SAID IT’S BETTER THIS WAY, SOMEHOW NOONE STOPS US
NOONE’S AGAINST US, WE HELP EACH OTHER OUT (2X)

BEFORE WE CAN ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN
THE JOYS AND THE LONELINESS THAT WE HAVE UNDERGONE
ARE THE THINGS THAT BIND OUR FRIENDSHIP TOGETHER
CHORUS
WHEN I COME HOME I HOPE IT'S STILL YOU, MY FRIENDS
THOUGH WE HAVE OUR OWN FAMILIES I HOPE YOU WILL STILL REMEMBER ME AS YOUR FRIEND
LET'S BRING BACK THE HAPPINESS THAT HAS GONE
EVEN FOR JUST A NIGHT AND A DAY
LET'S MEET UP AND SING TOGETHER AGAIN...LA LA LA
REPEAT CHORUSON THE OTHER HAND, IT'S REALLY SAD TO THINK THAT WE WILL COME TO THIS SITUATION
WHERE WE WILL PART WAYS MY FRIENDS, NOT WITH PAIN AND SADNESS BUT WITH JOY IN OUR HEARTS
REPEAT CHORUS
SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO
it seems as if it was only yesterday, when we were all together
the sunset that comes to us were always so fun
sometimes we stay till the wee hours of the morning drinking and singing
when scolded we go straight to capusan
if not we drink at tabunan
everyday we are like this, we rondezvous at darbu's
sometimes at bhomils'
under the mango tree, we will gather
then chip in money for the drinks
when the sunset comes, we will start drinking
our neighbors are entertained in our craziness that doesn't have any sense
but it's fun to think about such times when we were together
when saturday comes, we will climb up Mount Bonbon
we dO nothing but drink
but it's fun to think about such times because we have girls by our side
woo to the one who has no partner, for he will be the one to serve everyone
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING
Translated by Anita Dela Torre & Joey Fabello
GRANDMA SAID I SHOULD CHOOSE THE WARY ONE
FOR NOBODY HAS TOUCHED HER YET
NOBODY HAS TAMED HER YET
GRANDMA SAID I SHOULDN’T CHOOSE THE TAMED ONE
FOR EVEN IF YOU DON’T CALL HER, SHE’LL COME NEAR YOU.
GRANDMA SAID REAL BEAUTY IS NOT SEEN IN HER PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
GRANDMA SAID REAL BEAUTY IS NOT SEEN IN HER FIGURE
CHORUS
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING I CAN STILL REMEMBER
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING, UP TO NOW I CAN STILL HEAR THEM
GRANDMA SAID DON’T HAVE TWO LOVERS AT THE SAME TIME
FOR THE HEART WILL HAVE A HARD TIME, IT CANNOT BE DIVIDED
GRANDMA SAID DON’T PLAY WITH FIRE
IT’S DANGEROUS, IT RUINS LIVES
