AKING BITUIN
(My Star)
Traditional
Arr. Joel Malit
"Aking Bituin," more popularly known as "O Ilaw," is a classic Filipino kundiman song that functions as a serenade, a traditional form of courtship where a suitor sings to their beloved beneath her window. The lyrics compare the beloved's light to a star ("bituin") and a lamp ("ilaw"), expressing sincere feelings of adoration and hope for her to open her window.
