Paruparong Bukid

Paruparong Bukid
Paruparong bukid na lilipad-lipad
Sa gitna ng daan papagapagaspas
Isang bara ang tapis
Isang dangkal ang manggas
Ang sayang de kola
Isang piyesa ang sayad
May payneta pa siya — uy!
May suklay pa mandin — uy!
Nagwas de-ohetes ang palalabasin
Haharap sa altar at mananalamin
At saka lalakad na pakendeng-kendeng.

It’s a Filipino folk song from 1939 “ParuParong Bukid” released under Sampaguita Pictures, starring Rudy Concepcion at Rosario Moreno.
Here’s a more accurate translation from Tagalog to English:
Paru-parong bukid / BUTTERFLY IN THE FARM (MEADOW)
na lilipad-lipad / THAT FLIES AROUND
Sa tabi ng daan / IN THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
papaga-pagaspas /FLYING NOISILY
Isang bara ang tapis / (SHE HAS) ONE YARD OF APRON
Isang dangkal ang manggas / (SHE HAS) ONE HAND-BREADTH (PALM-MEASURED) SLEEVE
Ang sayang de kola (HER) SKIRT TRAIN
Isang piyesa ang sayad. / MEASURES ONE YARD WHICH IS DRAGGING AROUND
-
May peineta pa siya / (SHE EVEN WEARS A) SPANISH HAIR COMB (USUALLY USED FOR A CHURCH VEIL)
Uy! / OH!
May suklay pa mandin / (SHE ALSO WEARS A) COMB
Uy! / OH!
Naguas de ojetes / PETTICOATS (UNDERSKIRT)
ang palalabasin / (SHE IS REVEALING)
Haharap sa altar / (SHE FACES THE ALTAR AT CHURCH)
at mananalamin / THEN LOOKS AT HERSELF USING A MIRROR
At saka lalakad / THEN SHE WALKS ABOUT
nang pakendeng-kendeng. / (AND HER HIPS SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE)

your comment Lloyd is very helpful. I really need information regarding paru-parong bukid because i am going to dance and present it here in Japan before i leave the school (internship) to pursue my studies in the Philippines.
Thanks a lot!
