BACKGROUND

Tagalog Lyrics

Magtanim ay ‘di biro Maghapong nakayuko ‘Di man lang makaupo ‘Di man lang makatayo.

Braso ko’y namamanhid Baywang ko’y nangangawit Binti ko’y namimitig

Sa pagkababad sa tubig.

Sa umagang paggising Ang lahat iisipin

Kung saan may patanim May masarap na pagkain.

Braso ko’y namamanhid Baywang ko’y nangangawit Binti ko’y namimitig

Sa pagkababad sa tubig.

Halina, halina, mga kaliyag Tayo’y magsipag unat-unat Magpanibago tayo ng landas Para sa araw ng bukas

Para sa araw ng bukas.

“Magtanim Ay ‘Di Biro” (Planting is Never Fun) is a popular folk song composed by Felipe de Leon. The song talks about the hardship labor of a farmer while planting. The lyrics describe that a farmer has to bend over the entire day with no time to sit and no time to stand while he is on the fields. “Magtanim Ay ‘Di Biro” encourages the listeners to join in to keep the industrious spirit alive and to continue the hard work for a brighter future.
