Paiwan Lullaby (except) by Siao-Chun Tai


U wa u wa ti aping
Miya miya qemaung
Zanga zanga ti ina

U wa u wa ti aping (traditional sounds for comforting children)
Hey little girl
Don’t cry
Mum is coming home
Wait a while, be patient
U wa u wa ti aping (traditional sounds for comforting children)


Pangcah Lullaby (excerpt) by Ado Kaliting Pacidal

I yoyo o papa

I yoyo o papa


By Ado Kaliting Pacidal in Pangcah

cidal diputen ita

Sun protects us
Moon guards us

Singing around, and around
Our songs, for children
Sleep, go to sleep
Singing around, and around

Ocean is our path
We rely on ocean, and ocean accompany us

Do you know kid?
Look! We have ocean. We have sun.

Ah you kid
Why not go to bed?
Go to bed when it gets dark
Mum is already tired
Don’t silly!
Hurry up! Go to bed now!



"o pidoedo ako to takaraw no lotok a pakeling, o pingdo ako to sufal a mahaleng.”

"Our songs are a reflection of our environment; our songs are strong like the mountains which surround our village; our songs are humble in respect of the land which feeds us."
- Ado Kaliting Pacidal
