Sugid Ni Maria - Ukelele Version | Visayan / Bisaya Love Song

Visayan / Bisaya Love Song /  Cebuano iconic songs that took over Cebu - “Sugid ni Maria” by composer/lyricist Joseph Gara - the loss of her fiancé in a road accident in 2019 inspired Gara to write “Sugid ni Maria,” which topped the 40th Cebu Popular Music Festival, or Cebu Pop. “Sugid ni Maria” was Gara’s first entry to the annual musical tilt, which was held at the IC3 Convention Center in Barangay Mabolo, Cebu last Jan. 17, 2020. Cebu Popular Music Festival, or Cebu Pop is the longest-running Cebuano songwriting competition, which started in 1981. 

Sugid Ni Maria Lyrics

Ang imong pagbiya, mapugngan ko kaha?

Sa dili ka pa mawala, mulingi ka unta

Hatagi’g pahiyom ang tam-is nga higayon

Mao unta’y pasalig nga mag uban ra puhon

Kon mahibalik ka’s akong kiliran gunitan ka

Dili buhian ang kalipay nga

Naghatag bulok sa ‘kong kalibutan—

Ang bangaw human sa ulan

Ang atong mga damgo kanako nag-uban

Ayaw na’g hunong langit paghatag og kangitngit

Karon’g wala na’y silaw nga gipaabot pa

Sa akong pagkatulog, lakwon ang kagahapon

Og kon makita ka dili na unta mo mata

Kon mahibalik ka’s akong kiliran gunitan ka

Dili buhian ang kalipay nga

Naghatag bulok sa ‘kong kalibutan—

Ang bangaw human sa ulan

Ang atong mga damgo kanako nag-uban

Sa akong mga damgo puy-an matag segundo

Alimyon sa panit mo, sinina’ng paborito

Balay’ng imong gisak-an, kanta’ng imong duyugan

Ikaw ang unang halok ni’ng ngabil ko

Sa akong kiliran gunitan ka

Dili buhian ang kalipay nga

Naghatag bulok sa ‘kong kalibutan—

Ang bangaw human sa ulan

Ang atong mga damgo kanako nag-uban

Cebuano language

The Cebuano language, colloquially referred to by most of its speakers simply as Bisaya or Binisaya (translated into English as Visayan, though it should not be confused with other Visayan languages).
