Si Pilemon Lyrics

Si Pilemon, si Pilemon namasol sa kadagatan.

Nakakuha, nakakuha og isdang tambasakan.

Gibaligya, gibaligya sa merkadong guba—

Ang halin pulos kura, ang halin pulos kura,

Igo lang ipanuba.

Tagalog Version

Si Filemon, si Filemon, nangisda sa karagatan,

Nakahuli, nakahuli ng isdang tambasakan,

Pinagbili, pinagbili sa isang maliit na palengke

Kumita ng kaunting pera, kumita ng kaunting pera,

Para lang sa kaniyang alak na tuba.

English

Philemon, Philemon went to sea to catch some fish

He was able to get, to get only a small mudskipper.

He sold it, sold it at a dilapidated market

For it he got nothing much, nothing much

Just enough to buy tuba.
