Original lyrics
Si Tatang
Si tatang ay beterano ng kutsero,
maghapong ang kasama ay kabayo
Pag uwi niya sa hapon gagapas ng damo
para makain ng kaniyang kabayo
Si tatang ay de-primerang kaskasero
kaya tuloy natatakot ang pasahero
Gustoy laging matulin, hawak ang latigo
at kaliwat kanan ang palo sa kabayo
(REF)
O tatang ko na kaskasero,
huwag paluin ng paluin ang kabayo
Pag ang kabayoy nalito, hindi na magpreno
ang punta mo ay sementeryo
(SOLO)
Si tatang sobra ang tigas ng ulo,
di maawat sa pagiging kaskasero
Gustoy laging matulin ang takbo ng kabayo,
dapat sa kanya ay drayber ng bumbero
(REF)(2x)

This Old Man
this old man is an old calesa driver
spends the day with his horse from morn till sunset
at the end of the day, he will gather grass and hay
and provide it to his horse - the horse will munch it
this old man is a bold daredevil driver
that is why his trips make all his riders jitter
always likes these rapid trips - and he always holds his whip
to slap and whip the horse to make the horse go faster
(REF)
o dear old man, daredevil old man
do not whip your horse - it is unnecessary
if its mind is all messed up, it may forget to stop
your last stop: the cemetery
(SOLO)
this old man is stubborn and hard headed
you can't stop him from being a daredevil
always likes a rapid course when he drives his speedy horse
the perfect job for him is fire truck driver
(REF)(2x)
