LERON LERON SINTA (Jazz)
(Leron Leron My Darling)
​
​arranged by Lex Von Sumayo

Leron Leron Sinta is about a man named “Leron” and her sweetheart “Neneng”. The song revolves around the adventures of the two sweethearts as they pick fruits from trees (papaya and tamarind trees) one day.

Leron Leron Sinta is a classic work song that is believed to have originated in the provinces and was traditionally sang during the papaya harvest season. It has a call and response verse pattern and is typically sung in duet by a man and a woman, with some minor alteration in the lyrics. It is also a favorite performance piece by choral groups. With the combination of an upbeat feel and witty lyrics, Leron Leron Sinta has become a timeless Philippine folk song loved by millions of Filipinos from the heydays of the “kundiman” era to the generations to come.
