Fire and Flood Bontoc Folktale

Описание: (Verse 1)
In the land of the Igorot, where mountains touch the sky
Lumawig's sons caused a flood, and the waters rose high
They wanted to hunt, and drive the deer to land
But the earth was covered, and the people couldn't stand

(Chorus)
Fire and flood, a story old
Of Lumawig's power, and the waters bold
Fatanga and Fukan, the last ones standing
With fire and love, the world starts changing

(Verse 2)
The brothers caught wild pigs and deer, but also people too
Lumawig looked down, and saw what they did was true
He saved Fatanga and Fukan, on Mount Polis so high
Sent his dog and deer, to bring them fire to light

(Chorus)
Fire and flood, a story old
Of Lumawig's power, and the waters bold
Fatanga and Fukan, the last ones standing
With fire and love, the world starts changing

(Bridge)
The dog and deer, swam with fire so bright
But the water was too strong, and it went out in the night
Lumawig helped, with a flying leap and a guiding hand
Built a fire so warm, for the siblings' new land

(Verse 3)
Fatanga and Fukan, they married and had kids
And from them, the Bontoc people spread, with love and fire that sticks
A story of beginnings, of fire and flood so true
A tale of the Igorot, and Lumawig's power anew

(Chorus)
Fire and flood, a story old
Of Lumawig's power, and the waters bold
Fatanga and Fukan, the last ones standing
With fire and love, the world starts changing

(Outro)
Now the world is dry, with mountains so high
And the people live on, with the fire in their hearts, shining bright
