Baleleng - Roel Cortez - Guitar instrumental by Dave Monk

The Baleleng song is Tausug in origin. The song's original writer and composer is unknown since the song has been passed by way of tongue particularly the tune from province to province with the original lyrics being altered. Local and national artists created a sensible Visayan and Tagalog Lyrics of the song which gained great popularity.

The love song Beleleng is a story on a perspective for a young man bidding goodbye for his lovely maiden locally called "Leleng" (my dear) as Frauline in Berlin or Senorita to Mexico. The "Ba" was supposed to be a word which is placed after every question phrase in the local dialect (eg. Magaling ka ba? or Are you good?; Naintindihan mo ba? or Did you understand?) however mistakenly added to Leleng which famously became Baleleng.

The song is has a bittersweet story of a young male lover describing his anxiety in a poetic manner to his girl as he was going to war. There is a huge probability that the man is defending his hometown as his lines was that he will follow the girl even that far instead of saying I will be back.
