IGOROTA

This is a current popular folkhouse song in Baguio city. If you visit Ayuyang kano, it is where Jun Utleg, its artist, usually sings it. Makapasyar to man mamingsan! hehehe... The lyrics was composed by Danny Tawanna but the following isnot the perfect structure as how it was composed like the use of gerunds and prepositions in some lines. The following was captured by how the artist sang it.

On a smooth gray ground by the river bend
She was seated there to meet the morning sun
She was playing a flute when the songbirds went down.

As they listened to her wonderful melody
And the air was filled with every note she played
Slowly I sat by her side.

Refrain:
Igorota, girl of my dreams
You're the most precious gift that I ever had
Igorota, queen of my heart
I'll go on loving you throughout my life. (2x)

You are my day my morning sun
You'll forever be my only one
She puts down the flute then sweetly she smiled.

And she asked me, "Why are you staring at me?"
I held her close and a songbird sang
I whispered to her, "I love you."

Repeat refrain once
