Simbang Gabi

Parokya Ni Edgar · Jingle Balls (Silent Night, Holy Cow!) [1998]

Anong oras na ba? Magfo-four o'clock na yata!

Maguumaga na, bagsak pa ang aking mata

Kahit inaantok pa ko, pipilitin kong maligo,

Matagal maginit ng tubig mamatay na sa lamig!

*Excited na ako Siyempre dahil sa'yo

Kasama na naman kita Hanggang sa mag-umaga

Simbang Gabi! Magsi-simbang Gabi kami!

Masarap, malamig ang hangin Masarap din maglambing

Magkayakap magdamagan Hindi ka bibitawan

Ililibre pa kita ng bagong luto na bibingka

Tapos maglalakad pauwi, bukas nanaman uli!
