Paruparong Bukid
This song illustrates Filipina women's clothing of the time. If it has a bara, the apron is substantial . The material is thick rather than thin, small, or tight. The sleeve length is nearly half of the arm's length. This is done in order to conceal their armpits. Because showing one's armpit at the time was deemed impolite. The colored rubbish (de kola) has long since faded to the ground. Because Filipina women were forced to marry young men who claimed to have seen her heels at the time. It's a shame, isn't it? Girls were more careful back then, so longer skirts were favoured.

Lyrics of Paruparong Bukid in English
Butterfly that flutters about
It waves its wings in the middle of the road
Wearing a 9 meter-long rectangular cloth over her skirt
Sleeves, a handspan long
Her skirt that's shaped like a grand piano
has a train that's as long as an entire rack of cloth
She has a decorative hairpin -- uy!
And even a comb -- uy!
She displays her embroidered half-slip
She faces the altar, then looks into her mirror
Then she walks and sways her hips.
