Native songs are pleasant to listen. One of my favorites is the song entitled ''Sangkay'' by Island Paradise. The word ''Sangkay'' is a Waray-Waray term - meaning friend; an endearment used to catch a person's attention.
The song implies a double purpose message; featuring the romantic places of Tacloban, City and about a guy who is deeply in love with a girl. The guy is asking for love, and the song is his way to express his feelings and desire. However, at the end of the song, the man stated that he is already tired of waiting cause he realized that he is just waiting for nothing and only a friend to the girl.
Here is the original lyrics of the song.
Sangkay,
Pwede ba kita magkaupod danay,
mamasyada ha robi,
Kita la'n duha, pwede ba'k maka-
agbaySangkay,
Pwede ba kita'n duha magkatagay?
didto ha magsaysay,
Sum-suman nga atay, kita'n
maghuhungit-hungitaySangkay pwede ba kita
magkahigugmaay
Ako imo tatag-iyahon, ikaw magiging akon
Sangkay tak inaabat dire gudla
harumamay,Tak dughan
nagbubuto-buto..
Kun nakita ak ha imoSangkay ha City hall kita'n umistambay,
bis la kadaliay
Aton kamot magkaputay
Hinay-hinay magsapitaySangkay pwede ba kita
magkahigugmaay
Ako imo tatag-iyahon, ikaw magiging akon
Sangkay tak inaabat dire gudla

Hini nga tawo nga tangkod na

Ako imo tatag-iyahon, ikaw magiging akon
Sangkay tak inaabat dire gudla
