"Ang Pipit"
by Levi Celerio
Ang Pipit (The Pipit) is a popular Filipino song about a bird that is known in the Philippines as a Pipit. Many Filipinos don’t realize that is an English word too, so they force-translate the song’s title as My Sparrow. The pipit is a bird in the family Motacillidae.
In this song, a bird has her wing injured by a rock thrown by a man. The bird was so hurt she couldn’t fly. Like a person, she spoke up, “Oh, cruel man. How pitiless your heart is. If I die, there is a pipit bird who will cry.”
I want to encourage all of you to witness and harmonize the masterpiece of our very own “National Artist of the Philippines for Music and Arts” Levi Celerio. The pride of Filipino talents.
Let us embrace the local song created by our fellow Filipino, spread it our across the planet to make it valued, appreciates, and recognize by multitude mass of people as a form of our gratitude for his contribution in the arousal of Philippine music arts in our country.
