'Ulupod Kita' (Let's Join Together) - Youth Commitment Song

Our school while having its annual physical maintenance participated in by the different sectoral stakeholders in the community, a group of three youth composed this Ilonggo song and recorded it in one of the classrooms of the school by using a cell phone recorder.

Kaye Stephanie Marabe, an LDS member in Masville, Brgy. Cubay, La Carlota City was the led vocalist of this group. The other two were Michael and Retoy, rapper and rapper-guitarist respectively.

"Ulupod Kita" (Let's Join Together) is an original song composition in local dialect of this group. It portrays the role of the youth in charting their future. The tune is simple. It is easy to sing along with.

This song as I mentioned earlier was recorded in a cell phone recorder by Kaye and a copy was furnished to this author. This is featured here for public exhibition and exposure.

To listen this song, just play the following embedded song video which I uploaded in the YouTube.

Following are the main lyrics of that song (except the lyrics in the rap part of the song) and the English version below:

Ulupod Kita

Sa pagpili ta sang adlaw kag tinion

Kagapon nga naglipas na

Indi na pwede balikon

Subong suguran ta

Ang kabuhi kay-ohon

Para sa buwas nga nagahulat

Nga aton nga tubangon

chorus

Ulupod kita tanan-tanan

Aton tiil dungan ta itikang

Tungod kita kabataan

Ang madala para sa buwas

Sa duta nga natapakan

(English  Version)

Let's Go Together
(Youth Commitment Song)

To choose the day and the time

Yesterday had past

No way to get it back

Let's start now

To mend our lives

For the future is waiting

for us to face.

chorus

Let's join together

To take a stride

for being young

We make our future

in the land we set our feet.
