letra de planting rice - paul lombard & his orchestra
[verse 1]
on a filipino isle, where the sweet ocean breezes smile
there, this little song they sigh, “pagtatanim ng palay”
so i asked them what it meant, “planting rice” was the sad reply
planting rice for food and rent, planting rice till the day we die”
[chorus]
planting rice in the sun may be fun when you’re lookin’ on
but, oh, my, don’t you try, or your back with a ache will cry
from sunup to sunset, workin’ always in the wet
cannot stand, cannot sit, cannot rest for a little bit, a-will-ah!
[verse 2]
planting rice is all i know, how i wish that itself would grow
if there’s one worse off than me, oh, my goodness, pity he!
stooping silly in the mud, waiting for the rains to flood
hear this filipino cry, “pagtatanim ng palay”
[chorus]
planting rice in the sun may be fun when you’re lookin’ on
but, oh, my, don’t you try, or your back with a ache will cry
from sunup to sunset, workin’ always in the wet
cannot stand, cannot sit, cannot rest for a little bit, arriba, do-we-ooh-we-ooh-ah!
[verse 3]
then, before i sailed away, i said, “please tell to me, i pray
you plant rice in mud all day, don’t you have any time for play?”
then they smiled and said “alright, for a stranger, you’re so bright
planting rice, we do all day, but that ain’t what we do all night! oh-huun-ya! arriba, arriba!”
[outro]
planting rice (oh, my achin’ back!)
planting rice (oh, maria, i’ve been planting the rice all day)
planting rice (my back, she’s-a k!lling me!)
planting rice
planting rice
