MATUD NILA - B. Zubiri (arr. Jose Valdez) by RAFFY LATA

** from THE PHILIPPINE GUITAR **
Horacio Borromeo:
"The music was indeed "composed" by Ben Zubiri but the original score was written (put into sheet music) by Emilio Villarreal, pianist of DYRC in Cebu. Young Ben Zubiri was an admirer of the local belle, Lily Filoteo, whose father was a prominent doctor in Cebu. Ben, being an illegitimate child, was not encouraged by his friends to pursue the object of his affections. Recognizing the disparity in social status, he was moved to compose "Matud Nila" and dedicated the song to Lily. Journalist Delia Jurado wrote this story of Matud Nila in the obituary of Lirio "Lily" Filoteo Ferreros, who passed away on July 15, 1996. In 1973, I brought Joe Valdez to Iloilo and Cebu to perform at the local universities. In Cebu, I brought him with me when I visited my mother-in-law in Banawa. As we were on our way to rehearsal, Joe had his guitar with him. So my mother-in-law asked him to play that most Cebuano of Cebuano songs, Matud Nila. Joe had not played it before, but ever the trouper, he did an impromptu rendition from his mental familiarity with the melody. It made my mother-in-law very happy. And I never told Joe until years later that he had played Matud Nila for the very same woman who had inspired the composer and the song."

Superb playing.

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Ang walang kamatayang Cebuano classic love song....salamat sa iyong magaling na interpretasyon ng awiting ito.

[@kentrodriguez2532]

Matud nila ako dili angay
Nga magmamanggad sa imong gugma,
Matud nila ikaw dili malipay,
Kai wa ako'y bahanding nga kanimo igasa,
Gugmang putli mao day pasalig
Maoy bahanding labaw sa bulawan
Matud nila kaanugon lamang
Sa imong gugma ug parayeg,
Dili maluba kining pagbati
Bisan sa unsa nga katarungan
Kay unsa pay bili ning kinabuhi
Kon sa gugma mo hinikawan
Ingna ko nga dili ka motuo
Sa mga pagtamay kong naangkon
Ingna ko nga dili mo kawangon
Damgo ko'g pasalig sa gugma mo

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Matud nila ako dili angay = They say that i am not worthy
Nga magmanggad sa imong gugma. = of possessing your Love.
Matud nila ikaw dili malipay, = They say that you will not be happy,
Kai wa akoy bahanding nga kanimo igasa. = as i have no treasure(possession) to offer.
Gugmang putli mao day pasalig. = Love that is pure is the only assurance.
Maoy bahanding labaw sa bulawan. = A treasure(possession) more than gold.
Matud nila kaanugan lamang = They say it is a waste
Sa imong gugma ug parayeg. = of your love and praises.
Dili malubad kining pagbati = This feeling of mine will never fade
Bisan sa unsa nga katarungan. = even for whatever reason.
Kay unsa pay bili ning kinabuhi = For what is the worth of this life
Kon sa gugma mo hinikawan. = if it is deprive of your love.
Ingna ko nga dili ka motuo = Tell me that you will not believed(Listen)
Sa mga pagtamay kong naangkon = to the scorn that i have incurred
Ingna ko nga dili mo kawangon = Tell me that you will not hinder
Damgo ko'g pasalig sa gugma mo. = my dreams and promises for your love.
