Pasko sa Pinas
Yeng Constantino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Naririnig ko pa ang maliliit na tinig
May dalang tansang pinagsama-sama't
Ginawang tambourine
Ang mga parol ng bawat tahana'y nagniningning
Ibang mukha ng saya
Himig ng Pasko'y nadarama ko na
May tatalo pa ba sa pasko ng Pinas
Ang kaligayahan nati'y walang kupas
Di alintana kung walang pera
Basta't tayo'y magkakasama
Ibang-iba talaga ang pasko sa Pinas
May simpleng regalo na si ninong at si ninang
para sa inaanak na nagaabang
ang buong pamilya ay magkakasama sa paggawa ng christmas tree
ayan na ang barkada ikaw ay niyaya para magsimbang gabi
Ibang mukha ng saya
Himig ng Pasko'y nadarama ko na
May tatalo pa ba sa pasko ng Pinas (may tatalo pa ba sa pasko ng pinas)
Ang kaligayahan nati'y walang kupas
Di alintana kung walang pera
Basta't tayo'y magkakasama
Ibang-iba talaga ang pasko sa Pinas
Ibang-iba talaga kahit saan ikumapara
May ibang ihip na hangin na di maiintindihn (di maintindihan)
Mapapangiting bigla sa kung ano ang dahilan
Nadarama mo na ba
Mo na ba
Mo na ba
May tatalo pa ba sa pasko ng Pinas (may tatalo pa ba sa pasko ng pinas)
Ang kaligayahan nati'y walang kupas
Di alintana kung walang pera
Basta't tayo'y magkakasama
Ibang-ibang talaga ang pasko sa Pinas
May tatalo pa ba sa pasko ng Pinas (may tatalo pa ba sa pasko ng pinas)
Ang kaligayahan nati'y walang kupas
Di alintana kung walang pera
Basta't tayo'y magkakasama
Ibang-ibang talaga ang pasko sa Pinas
The opening lines, "Nadarama ko na ang lamig ng hangin, Naririnig ko pa ang maliliit na tinig," set the mood for Yeng Constantino's โPasko sa Pinasโ or "Christmas in the Philippines." It conveys that the holiday season is upon us, as we can feel it in the cold breeze and hear the Christmas bells ringing. The following lines describe how the tambourines made from recycled soft drink bottle caps are used to accompany the caroling of small children, adding to the festive atmosphere. Even the Christmas lanterns, or "parol," hanging outside each home are shining brightly, adding to the holiday cheer.
The song goes on to describe some of the unique Filipino Christmas traditions, such as gift-giving among godparents and godchildren, coming together as a family to decorate the Christmas tree, and inviting friends to join the night mass or "simbang gabi." The chorus proudly declares that there is no Christmas merrier than in the Philippines because joy can be found beyond material possessions, but in the company of people we love. The phrase "may tatalo pa ba sa Pasko ng Pinas" translates to "is there anything that can beat a Filipino Christmas?"
The last lines of the song then encapsulate the difference of experiencing Christmas in the Philippines, "Ibang-iba talaga kahit saan ikumpara, May ibang ihip na hangin na di maiintindihan," which means that the Philippines truly has a unique way of celebrating Christmas that is hard to compare to others, with a different kind of wind that is hard to comprehend.

Nadarama ko na ang lamig ng hangin
I can feel the coldness of the wind
Naririnig ko pa ang maliliit na tinig
I can still hear the small voices
May dalang tansang pinagsama-sama't Ginawang tambourine
They brought together tin cans and made them into a tambourine
Ang mga parol ng bawat tahana'y nagniningning
The lanterns of each house are shining bright
Ibang mukha ng saya
A different face of happiness
Himig ng Pasko'y nadarama ko na
I can already feel the melody of Christmas
May tatalo pa ba sa pasko ng Pinas
Is there any Christmas better than in the Philippines?
Ang kaligayahan nati'y walang kupas
Our happiness knows no end
Di alintana kung walang pera
We don't mind if we don't have money
Basta't tayo'y magkakasama
As long as we're together
Ibang-iba talaga ang pasko sa Pinas
Christmas in the Philippines is really different
May simpleng regalo na si ninong at si ninang para sa inaanak na nagaabang
The godparents have simple gifts for their eagerly waiting godchildren
Ang buong pamilya ay magkakasama sa paggawa ng christmas tree
The whole family is together in making the Christmas tree
Ayan na ang barkada ikaw ay niyaya para magsimbang gabi
Here comes the group of friends who invited you to attend the midnight mass
Ibang-iba talaga kahit saan ikumapara
It's really different compared to anywhere else
May ibang ihip na hangin na di maiintindihn (di maintindihan)
There's a different breeze that cannot be understood
Mapapangiting bigla sa kung ano ang dahilan
Suddenly you will smile for no particular reason
Nadarama mo na ba, Mo na ba, Mo na ba
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
Ibang-ibang talaga ang pasko sa Pinas
Christmas in the Philippines is really different
