About the Song:

Sarung Banggi means "one evening" or "one night" in Bicol, one of the languages in Luzon, Philippines. The song has been called "The Lullaby of the Heart".

This kundiman or Filipino serenade tells about a woman who is about to go to bed when she heard an elegant voice. The lady thinks it is a bird singing. In the shady of the nighttime, she looks where the sound came from, and she saw his handsome face.

A kundiman is a Filipino love song traditionally sung by a man wooing the woman of his dreams. Sometimes, the young man will be accompanied by friends as he serenades the woman in the evening. With the familiar strains of the guitar, the suitor pours out his emotions through a song, usually one which speaks of loneliness or even lack of self-worth.
