DON'T YOU GO TO FAR ZAMBOANGA
TraditionalDon't you go oh don’t you go
To far Zamboanga
Where you may forget
Your darling far away
Don’t you go oh don’t you go
For it you leave me
How can I without you stay?
Oh weep not, my dear Paloma
Oh weep not for I’ll return
Oh weep not my little darling
I shall remember and I shall yearn.

ReplyDeleteThere's still a second stanza my dear:
ReplyDeleteWith feather of loyal dove dear
With red ink of his warm blood...
That's all I can remember. I learn this when I was in Grade 3-4 (1959-1960)
With feather of loyal dove dear
DeleteWith red ink of my warm blood
i'll write you my burning love, dear
My own Paloma so true and good..
My mother used to sing this song

ReplyDeleteKung ikaw ay pupunta sa zamboanga,
DeleteAt iiwan mo akong nag-iisa.
Puso ko'y malulumbay at magdurusa,
Matitiis mo nga pa ba?
Oh Irog wag kang manangis
Pagkat babalik ako
Pawiin mo na ang hapis
Nang wag magdusa ang puso mo...
