Kasadya Ning Taknaa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.[1]

Lyrics[2][3][4]

Preface:
"Kasadya ning taknaa
Dapit sa kahimayaan
Mao'y atong makita
Ang panagway nga masanglagon
Bulahan ug bulahan
Ang tagbalay nga giawitan
Awit nga halangdonon sa tanang Pasko
Magmalipayon!"

Chorus:
Preface, then
"Bag-ong tuig
Bag-ong kinabuhi
Duyog sa atong mga pagbati
Atong awiton ug atong laylayon
Aron magmalipayon!"
