"Sa Ugoy ng Duyan" (The Sway of the Hammock) is a cherished Filipino lullaby composed by Lucio San Pedro, with lyrics by Levi Celerio. This nostalgic piece captures the tender memories of a mother’s love and the gentle rocking of a hammock. Its serene, flowing melody, often in 3/4 time, is supported by a simple, homophonic accompaniment, typically for voice and piano or orchestra. The composition’s soothing rhythm and heartfelt lyrics evoke a sense of comfort and longing, making it a timeless classic in Philippine music.
