Mandayas are known to be be music lovers. The folk songs reflects their intimate relationship with Mother earth and the attitude they have towards the environment and the world. Oyog-oyog is a folk song that deals with Pagka-iso (Childhood) and Gugma nang Ginikanan (Parental Love). Here's an Oyog-oyog (Mandaya by Joel Velasquez):
Oyog-oyog, mag oyog-oyog . . .
Masinga nang Bullawan
Diyanay yagadadallawon
Baan sumngaw makawong
Dumallaw makagwa
Walla kaw sa pangubsa
Walla kaw sa pangkawasa,
Nang mallugon diabongan mo
Magaon na siollambodan mo;
Malaygon sa gigiba
Pugtok sa llollumpasi.
Walla sa pangungubsa
Wa sa pangawasa;
Awson pagpaka-indo
Ubson magpakagawa.
La - la - la- la - larin - larin . . .

I'll find time to translate it guys, sooner. Some of the lines are unintelligible to me because it it looked somewhat of a Mandaya-Mansaka song. Pretty sure the lullaby is sweet.
