Vladan Zivancevic - Guitar Roel Cortez - Baleleng Baleleng is one of the famous Filipino folk song which is Sama Dilaut and/or Tausug in origin[ that has been passed through generations. The composer or the writer of the song was not credited and was unknown. The tune was passed by mouth from province to province and the original lyrics of the song was altered. Versions of Filipino local artists have made the song popular both in Visayan and Tagalog languages. Leleng was the original title of the song which means Darling, Sweetheart, my lady or my dear in Sama Dilaut language. In Philippine languages such as Visayan and Tagalog, the enclitic “ba“ is used as a question marker. The story of the song was about a man bidding goodbye to a lady called Leleng as he was going to war. Like other Sama Dilaut songs, it is sung with the accompaniment of a string instrument like gitgit and biula, gabbang and the kulintangan.[8][9] If you want, you can support my channel.
