“Dandansoy”
Dandansoy, bayaan ko ikaw,
Pauli ako sa Payao.
Ugaling kon ikaw hidlawon,
Ang Payao imo lang lantawon…
Dandansoy, kon imo apason,
Bisan tubig dili magbalon.
Ugaling kon ikaw uhawon,
Sa dalan magbobonbobon…
—–
Literal translation: (My attempt)
Dandansoy, I will leave you,
I am going home to Payao.
If ever you feel lonely,
Just look towards Payao.
Dandansoy, if ever you decide to follow,
Don’t bring any water.
If ever you get thirsty,
Make a well along the road.

Nice translation you have there! Subo gid na tuod na kanta…
My grandmother is a well-spring of these Visayan songs…
Indulge me with these songs:
Ohoy Alibangbang
Ohoy alibangbang
Kon ikaw ang maglupad
Tatapa sang maayo ang tanan-tanan nga bulak
Basi sa ulihi, kon ikaw ang malipat
Pobre si Tapulanga, sa duta ahay nataktak…
———–
Lumabay-labay nga daw Aso
Lumabay-labay nga daw aso, aso pa lamang.
Ang tanan-tanan nga butang sa kalibutan.
Ang matam-is, ahay!
Nagapait man, ahay!
Kay sa gihapon, ahay!
Umalagi lamag…
———
I hope you are familiar with these songs…

My sister has requested for a copy of the lyrics of Dandansoy. I emailed it to her in Chupping, Perlis, Malaysia. Thanks for the lyrics because I could not find it in the music stores here in Cebu.

Isa lang anay ka stanza e-dugang ko ah, next time naman ang iban,
3rd stanza sang DANDANSOY:
“Panyo mo, kag panyo ko,
Gisi gisi-a kay tambihon ko.
Ugaling kon magka silo,
Asawa ko ikaw, kag bana mo ako”.

I’m not quite sure. It is a folk song so it might be hard to exactly pinpoint a single composer/lyricist.
