about

Sacanoy (Small Island mix)
Small Island Big Song ft' Ado Kaliting Pacidal & Tarika Sammy

"o pidoedo ako to takaraw no lotok a pakeling, o pingdo ako to sufal a mahaleng.”

"Our songs are a reflection of our environment; our songs are strong like the mountains which surround our village; our songs are humble in respect of the land which feeds us."

- Ado Kaliting Pacidal

For our next generation
All cultures sing lullabies, and we’re all been comforted by the warmth of their melody. Before we could understand words, we understood the language of song.

lyrics

Sacanoy (Small Island mix)
Paiwan Lullaby (except) by Siao-Chun Tai

U wa u wa ti aping
Miya miya qemaung
Zanga zanga ti ina
Miya masu katjava
U wa u wa u wa u


U wa u wa ti aping (traditional sounds for comforting children)
Hey little girl
Don’t cry
Mum is coming home
Wait a while, be patient
U wa u wa ti aping (traditional sounds for comforting children)


Pangcah Lullaby (excerpt) by Ado Kaliting Pacidal

I yoyo o papa

I yoyo o papa


By Ado Kaliting Pacidal in Pangcah

cidal diputen ita
fudal diputen ita


radiwen ko radiwen ita…..
o radiw ko wawa
mafute’a’ to ko wawa
radiwen ko radiwen ita

ho riyal o lalan ita
ho riyal o papahan ita

mafana kiso
ira ko riyal ato minengneng to kora cidal

aw koni wawa
ca’ay ka fute’a kiso haw
tayra I dadaya to
marolay to ko ina iso
ca’ay ka mitengelen kiso haw
ori ori mifute’a to


Sun protects us
Moon guards us

Singing around, and around
Our songs, for children
Sleep, go to sleep
Singing around, and around

Ocean is our path
We rely on ocean, and ocean accompany us

Do you know kid?
Look! We have ocean. We have sun.

Ah you kid
Why not go to bed?
Go to bed when it gets dark
Mum is already tired
Don’t silly!
Hurry up! Go to bed now!
