Oh, My Chinito!!!

Currently working on a post that I should call *SPOILER AHEAD!!!*… Komikon for Dummies. I just need to complete the list and then I’m done.

Meanwhile, I have had this as draft for a while now. Wanted to share to Scottishmomus especially. I gave her wrong info, though. I realized this song was NOT written by Yeng Constantino, unlike Hawak-Kamay. It was an entry to a songwriting contest, composed by Jed Dumawal but performed and recorded by Yeng. Nevertheless, I’m sharing this song that Yeng recorded.

It’s been playing on the air for quite sometime now and even became a movie theme song, but it’s still new-ish. Yes, it’s teeny-boppy, but I like it, anyway (and that should tell you my state of mind ha ha haaa!!!). It’s a story of a girl who has been crushing on a guy. He doesn’t notice her at first, then the story progresses. The vid is so simple but really cute, and it doesn’t hurt that the guy in the vid, award-winning actor/model/performer and athletic swimmer Enchong Dee, has such tantalizing chinito eyes, ergo, the title Chinito.

Check out the first vid because it’s a clear copy, the lyrics below. But because it’s in Filipino, you can also try the next copy because someone already did a translation that I think is very near to what I would have written if I had time to translate. Last is a preview of the movie I mentioned. It’s a silly movie and I don’t particularly like it, but it does have its funny moments.

Like it or hate it, it’s your choice. I really just enjoy it so I hope you do, too 🙂

Chinito

Napapansin mo ba
Kaya ang tulad ko
Kahit nasa sulok lang ng iyong mga mata
Mahuli mo kaya ang pagsulyap sa’yo
Kahit hindi naman ako ang iyong kaharap
Oh chinito
Balang araw ay, malalaman mo rin

[Chorus:]
At kung ikaw ay nakatawa
Ako pa ba ay nakikita
Nalilimutan ko ang itsura ko
Kapag kausap na ikaw
Sana naman ako’y pakinggan
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Oh! Chinito… Chinito…

Kung hindi inaantok
Kung hindi nasisilaw
Pwede bang malaman ko
May pag-asa pa kayang matanaw
Bakit ba ang pungay ng bintana ng iyong mundo
Isang ngiti mo lang sakin
Ay baon ko hanggang sa pag-uwi
Oh chinito
Balang araw ay malalaman mo rin

[Chorus:]
At kung ikaw ay nakatawa
Ako pa ba ay nakikita
Nalilimutan ko ang itsura ko
Kapag kausap na ikaw
Sana naman ako’y pakinggan
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Oh! Chinito… Chinito…

Sana naman ako’y pakinggan
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Ah sige tawa lang nang tawa
Ako pa ba ay nakikita
Nalilimutan ko ang itsura ko
Kapag kausap na ikaw
Sana naman ako’y pakinggan
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Oh! Chinito… Chinito…

And now, the song once again, this time with subtitles.

The movie Bride for Rent starring Kim Chiu and Xian Lim who are chinita and chinito themselves, being both Chinoys (Filipino-Chinese).

One of these days, I’m going to collate and list down Filipino flicks that I think would be worth watching (they’ll have subtitles, of course, if ever you get to watch it).
