Magellan - Y. Villame

Written by the visayan singer and comedian Villame, the first line simply helped me remember the exact day magellan 'discovered' the philippines.

"...the lyrics to the funny Magellan song of Filipino singer Yoyoy Villame about one of the most famous events in Philippine history: the discovery of the Philippine islands by Ferdinand Magellan and his subsequent death at the hands of local chieftain Lapu-Lapu. What makes it funny is the broken English lyrics, but the story is as close to the actual events as most Filipinos know."

MAGELLAN SONG LYRICS

On March 16, 1521
When Philippines was discovered by Magellan
They were sailing day and night across the big ocean
Until they saw a small Limasawa island
Magellan landed in Limasawa at noon
The people met him very welcome on the shore
They did not understand the speaking they have done
Because Kastila gid at Waray-Waray man
When Magellan landed in Cebu City
Rajah Humabon met him, they were very happy
All people were baptized and built the church of Christ
And that’s the beginning of our Catholic life... (more)
