Gangnam Style, Tagalog/Capampangan Version Lyrics

.:Won't Be Too Shocked To See Someone Record This Or Something...:.

I know, I know. Everyone and their mother has heard of and done a lip-synch video to Gangnam Style by now. 

What nobody has done, though, is to make a Tagalog version. And that surprises me, considering how someone did it for "Teach Me How To Dougie" and other similarly popular songs. I expect the Christmas Mix this December, but a Tagalog version hasn't even been written yet.

Until now.

Yes, I came up with this, and yes my Capampangan is probably rudimentary at best, but I'm pretty proud of it. If you think the lyrics need work and they don't fit as perfectly with the tune as I hoped they would, feel free to tell me.

But yes, if you'd ever record this, and I'd end up hearing this song on the radio, please don't forget to tip your hat to me, at least. That goes for you too, Tito Sotto. ;)

Pampanga Style

hO Pampanga Style!
Pampanga Style!

Ang saya sa Pampanga, lahat ay nalolosyang
Pagkain pa lang, tiyak walang sinabi ang hopya
Daming handa, mula San Fernando hanggang Guagua
Maraming gaya-gaya, ngunit hindi makopya

Mga Cabalen!
Mekeni na’t mangan dito sa amen mga Cabalen!
hAndami naming handa, ang saya-saya Cabalen!
Bata man o matanda, manyaman ang pagkain Cabalen!
Puro Cabalen!
