Yoyoy Villame - Magellan Lyrics
On March 16, 1521When Philippines was discovered by MagellanThey were sailing day and night across the big oceanUntil they saw a small Limasawa islandMagellan landed in Limasawa at noonThe people met him very welcome on the shoreThey did not understand the speaking they have doneBecause Kastila gid at Waray-Waray manWhen Magellan landed in Cebu CityRajah Humabon met him, they were very happyAll people were baptized and built the church of ChristAnd that's the beginning of our Catholic lifeWhen Magellan visited in MactanTo christianize them everyoneBut Lapu-Lapu met him on the shoreAnd drive Magellan to go back homeThen Magellan got so madOrdered his men to camouflage'Mactan island we could not grab'Cause Lapu Lapu is very hard'Then the battle began at dawnBolos and spears versus guns and cannonsWhen Magellan was hit on his neckHe stumble down and cried and criedOh, mother mother I am sickCall the doctor very quickDoctor, doctor shall I die?Tell my mama do not cryTell my mama do not cryTell my mama do not cryThat's the end of MagellanIn the island of Mactan long time agoLadies and gentlemen
