    Kundiman singing is a Filipino musical genre that emerged in the late 19th century under Spanish colonial rule. It is characterized by lyrics expressing unrequited or forbidden love, set to a minor key that gradually shifts to major. Two seminal composers, Francisco Santiago and Nicanor Abelardo, helped establish kundiman as an art form in the early 20th century by adapting Western musical styles. Their compositions like "Anak Dalita," "Madaling Araw," and "Nasaan Ka Irog Ko" are considered classics of the genre. Kundiman singing traditions continue to this day.

    Kung gabing ang buwan Sa kanyang pagsiklot


    Sa langit ay nakadungaw; Sa maputing bula, Ang lakas ko ay nalipat,
    Tila ginigising ng habagat Kasabay ng awit, Sa puso't dibdib ng lahat;
    Sa kanyang pagtulog sa tubig; Kasabay ng tula; Kung nais ninyong ako'y mabuhay,
    Ang isang larawang puti at busilak, Dati akong paraluman, Pag-ibig ko'y inyong ibigay.
    Na lugay ang buhok na animo'y agos, Sa kaharian ng pag-ibig,
    Ito ang Mutya ng Pasig Ang pag-ibig ng mamatay,
    Ito ang Mutya ng Pasig Naglaho rin ang kaharian.

    pakinggan Sa dilim ng gabi aking nilalamay
    Ang aking ligalig sa kapagdaramdam Tanging larawan mo ang nagiging ilaw
    Kung ikaw ay mahimbing sa gitna ng
    At kung hindi ka mahahabag dilim
    Sa lungkot kong dinaranas Ay iyong ihulog puso mo sa akin

    Lahat ng araw ay kaligayahan
    Sa kabukiran ako ay walang kalungkutan
    Lahat ng araw ay kaligayahan

    Ang halamanan kung aking masdan


    Masiglang lahat ang kanilang kulay
    Ang mga ibon na nag-aawitan
    Kawili-wili silang pakinggan
    Kawili-wili silang pakinggan
    O aking buhay na maligaya
    Busog ang puso at maginhawa
    O aking buhay
    Na maligaya

    Pagsinta ay di magiiba
    Kung nais malaman sinta
    Hindi mo ba nadarama sinta
    Bakit tangi kang minamahal
    Bawat kilos ko'y pangarap ka
    Ikaw lang ang tunay at siyang
    Minamahal, minamahal kita
    dahilan
    At nasa iyo ang tanging pag-asa
    Ng aking kaligayahan
    Asahan mong dalangin ko twina
    Minamahal, minamahal kita
