PARANG, PARANG
By Singing Francine

Paranging in the Croisee, one night with San Jose,
I met a parrandero who sang to me this way -
Parang-parang, parang-parang, parang-parang. That's what he sang.
Oh Maria, oh Madre mia, Jesus Christ is born
On a winter's day, Madre mia, Happy Christmas morn
Parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang-parang.

He sang a true story of Christ in His glory
And said He's coming back soon, if you hear parranderos croon
Parang-parang, parang-parang, parang-parang. That's what he sang
Oh Maria, oh Madre mia, Jesus Christ is born
On a Christmas day, Madre mia, sing a happy song
Parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang-parang.

I joined the parranaderos not singing calypso
I sang an aguinaldo, they shouted, "Mucho, mucho!"
Parang-parang, parang-parang, parang-parang. That's what he sang
Oh Maria, oh Madre mia, Jesus Christ is born
On a winter's day, Madre mia, sing a Christmas song
Parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang-parang.

I'll never forget it, parang is sweet music
I sang in Hispaniola, they shouted, "Canta, canta!"
Parang-parang, parang-parang, parang-parang. That's what he sang
Oh Maria, oh Madre mia, Jesus Christ is born
On a Christmas day, Madre mia, sing a Christmas song
Parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang-parang.
Parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang, parang oh, parang-parang....

A Note From The Gull

Pure joy set to music! Thank you, Singing Francine.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
