Translation of the song Salakot artist Pilita Corrales

Filipino/Tagalog

Salakot

English translation

Salakot

Ang balat mo'y huwag ibilad kung mainit

Don't expose your skin to the sun if it's hot,

kailangan mo'y salakot na pambukid

You need a countryside salakot

Kung masungit ang panahon parang payong din 'yan

If the afternoon is grumpy, it will be like an umbrella too

maiilagan mo ang ang ulan at araw x2

You will be able to avoid the rain and sun

Huwag mo ang paiitimin

Don't darken

ang balat na talusaling

the easily sensitive skin

Pag-ingatan ang alindog

To take care of beauty

ang ganda'y sadyang kay rupok

How beautiful is you, so fragile

Kung kulimlin ang panahon

If the afternoon is dark and cloudy,

Salakot ay dalhin

Bring a Salakot

At iya'y panangga sa init man

And that will shade you from the heat

at hangin x4

and wind
