The Video

This is Bamboo's Probinsyana video which I have seen on myx early this evening... I kinda love this video except for the dancers. I don't really wanna say this but I think those dancers are irritating! (joke lang...)... Seriously, I think the dance was like that because of the Jazz element in the song...

Anyways, here it is...

Issues on Probinsyana by Bamboo

Every night, before signing in, its my habit to see whether I receive new emails because it simply means that someone gave a comment here in my blog. Last night, while putting on my PC I noticed that I received an email and that made me so excited! I opened the mail to know what was the comment. But sad to say, the comment was a bit negative and it irritates me! Actually, I have doubts whether to post it or trash it. In the end, I'm proud to say that I decided to post it.

Days ago, I had an entry about the Bamboo's upcoming album and some of their songs including Probinsyana and Tatsulok. But last night it pissed me that someone (sad to say he didn't give his name) commented:

My God! This is shameful! Does he knows that the song "Probinsyana" belongs to a legendary rock and roll artist? Mahiya naman kayo! Give respect to the real person who made this song which is Mr. Edmund Fortuno.

What's with the song Probinsyana? How could this person imply that Bamboo, the vocalist and/or the band claims that Probinsyana is their original composition? Duh! Moreover, I never forget to reiterate in my blog that Probinsyana was a revival of Bamboo.

The only question on my mind right now is that, what's the fuss? As a fan of Bamboo, a true-blooded believer, I never heard the band claiming that Probinsyana was theirs. If this person watched SOP last Sunday, 25 February 2007, he would have heard Bamboo especially Ira Cruz thanking some people. If this someone had the chance to purchase bamboo's third album, We Stand Alone Together, he could have at least seen the acknowledgments.

Perhaps the only thing this person wanted is to make Mr. Edmund Fortuno more famous... :)) I just wish this person will realize that never did Bamboo claim the song Probinsyana and that they gave due credits to those people or bands (for that matter) who wrote and performed te songs featured in the album We Stand Alone Together.

Anyway, I really wanted to thank the Edmund Fortuno for the song Probinsyana because after hearing it from Bamboo, it makes me be proud that I'm from the province! Hopefully, he's proud that young people can hear his song through Bamboo.

Dalagang Probinsyana

The song Probinsyana is one of Bamboo's single on their third album We Stand Alone Together. Probinsyana, just like the other songs in this album is also a revival. The original version of Probinsyana was first heard in 1985. And this year, it was given a different version by the hottest band in the country- Bamboo.

Here's the lyrics of Probinsyana and Bamboo's first live performance in Unang Hirit.

PROBINSYANA
Bamboo

ang probinsyana ay di basta-basta
mahirap bolahin, kailangan haranahin
ang kanyang lakad, mabibighani ka
di biro, babaeng probinsyana

mahirap amuhin ang probinsyana
pag napaibig, wala kang duda

'pag sa umaga pisngi namumula
pag nakasaya maaakit ka
ang kanyang lakad, mabibighani ka
di biro, babaeng probinsyana

mahirap amuhin ang probinsyana
pag napaibig, wala kang duda
probinsyana! probinsyana!

aking diwata saan ka pumunta
lumuwas ng Maynila dala ng pangarap niya
ang kanyang lakad mabibighani ka
nasaan na aking Maria Clara

mahirap amuhin ang probinsyana
pag napaibig, wala kang duda
probinsyana, probinsyana...
