Tanog Bikolnon (Bicol Music): Albay Song of Buckyard Boyz

I can truly say that this song is a trademark for all Albayanos for having been strong against the hardships – from Spanish era until the approach of Reming typhoon. The lyric brings a nostalgic presence for every people of Albay. It also brings compelling emotions upon hearing the familiar places  - Tabaco, Ligao, Legazpi, and Daraga.

Tabaco City is where I grew up, Ligao is where I tried to hone my skills, Legazpi City is where I able to transform that skill into a profession, and Daraga is where I made friends.

Listening to the song is like reminiscing past experiences. I remember the other places where I was born, rode a water bufallo on the ricefield, witnessed colorful festivals, and explored exotic and beautiful places in Albay. I can really say that Albay is my home.

Enjoy and play this song, share this with every Albayano on earth.

‘Albay Song’ Lyrics

(Chain)

From way down south, were Mayon is at

There’s a few things that you gotta know

First Buckyard boyz just startin’ the show

Pack your bags and were ready to go

Bounce to the spot from island to island

You’ll be mesmerize from city to highland

Swim to the beach, roam to the cave

It aint no worry coz were all behave

Kapit bisig lagi bayanihan

Talagang uragun bicolano iyan

Talagang apo ni baltog, talagang dai nag papadaug

Madya na sa kabikolan para mahiling ta mga kagayunan

Mari na na, sumabay ka na para di mauryan

Sabi ta baga diyos mabalos saindo gabos

(Chorus)

I’m from, were from, you’re from Albay

We represent the city of smile (smile)

Were proud ‘coz we got what it takes to rock the mic right (hey)

(NickBee)

Napakasarap diba kung iisipin na, namulat ako sa lugar na tunay na pinagpala

Simula sa bagay na nakikita ng iyong mata, larawan ng Albay na tunay na magaganda

Byahe na, sige na, tayo na, sama na, ‘di ka magsisisi ‘wag ka nang magalinlangan pa

‘wag maging dayuhan sa sariling bayan Bicolano ka atin nang ipag sigawan.

Ibandila ang pangalan ng Legazpi, pagmamahal na kasing init ng sili,

Ipadama ‘wag kimkimin sa’ting sarili, respeto sa kapwa Bicolano mananatili.

Habang nabubuhay pa, habang ako’y humihinga, habang umuusok pa, Mayon na napakaganda,

Utak Bicolano ‘to, sarili kong liriko, ‘di ako mahihiyang humawak ng micropono…

(Chorus)

I’m from, were from, you’re from Albay

We represent the city of smile (smile)

Were proud ‘coz we got what it takes to rock the mic right (hey)

(Ghost)

From tha land where Mayon stood still

A place where you can laugh, sit back and chill

Hop from one, to anotha beautiful spot

And when you gotta meet us locals, you will like us a lot

Cuz where naturally smart, talento’y sagad sagad

Certified na mauurag Albayano mananggad

Kahit na ano pang hamon, hinding hindi aatrasan

Wag na wag mong susubukan baka ka ma anghangan

Yan ang Albayano mauurag talaga

From Ligao to Tabaco, Legazpi-Daraga

Pirang bagyong nag-agi kita nagkaralantupan

Pag ka lipas pirang bulan, urulukon nanaman

I’m an Albayano and I’m proud to be one

If you’re proud to, come raise up your hand

Divided we fall, united we stand

It’s time to stand for our Brand

breakdown (ad libs)

 

(Chorus)

I’m from, were from, you’re from Albay

We represent the city of smile (smile)

Were proud ‘coz we got what it takes to rock the mic right (hey)

“The BUCKYARD BOYZ delivers crunk style hip hop in a very Pinoy way. These hip hopping boys from Legazpi City, Albay enjoyed a top 5 ranking on OKFM Letgazpi’s Top 30 Countdown, accordingly the first time a local act cracked the top 10 of that radio station’s hit list.” — MusikMax Bicol
