Kasadya Ning Taknaa facts for kids
Kasadya Ning Taknaa is a Cebuano Christmas carol composed in 1933 by Vicente Rubi with lyrics by Mariano Vestil. Its famous counterpart is Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit, a modified version of the song written by Levi Celerio with lyrics in Tagalog (but not as a translation of the original); however, Celerio is often given all songwriting credit without any acknowledgment of Rubi and Vestil.
Lyrics
Preface:
Kasadya ning taknaa
Dapit sa kahimayaan
Maoy among nakita
Ang panagway masanagon
Bulahan ug bulahan
Ang tagbalay nga gi-awitan
Awit nga halandumon sa tanang Pasko
Magmalipayon!
Chorus:
Bag-ong tuig
Bag-ong kinabuhi
Duyogan ta sa atong gibati
Atong awiton aron sa kalipay kitang makaangkon
Chorus Preface
Coda
Awit nga halangdumon sa tanang Pasko
Magmalipayon!
