"Mare", The Black Eyed Peas Tribute to Filipina Women

Mare, a song included in The Black Eyed Peas newest album titled The E.N.D. is the group's tribute to Filipina women.

This is the third time the group included a song in their album that has a Pinoy touch in it. The first song which was included in their 2005 album Monkey Business is a monster hit "Bebot", a Pinoy slang word analogous to the English slang term "hot chick". While the second song titled "The APL Song" based on the "Balita" or "News" song by the Filipino folk rock group Asin band was included in their 2003 released Elephunk album.

Check out the Mare lyrics and video below:




F-I-L-I-P-I-N-A
Mare, Mare
F-I-L-I-P-I-N-A
Mare, Mare

Ahh she,
Look at all these pretty ladies on the dance floor, (Ow)
On the dance floor, (Ow) On the dance floor, floor floor floor.

I like it Mare,
I like it Mare,
I like it Mare,
I like it like it.

Look at all these pretty girls dancing like they’re on the roll.
Pretty Filipina girls, Ain’t nothin messin with her,
Hot damn, there she goes, bangin like a video.
Marrow, Girl, let me freak you in Tagalog.

Sayaw ka na, (Hey Hey)
Ang ganda mong dalaga,
Sayaw ka na, (Hey Hey)
Gusto kitang kasama.

So let me get it, get it
Let me ge-ge-get it.
Let me get it, get it.

Ahh she,
Look at all these pretty ladies on the dance floor, (Ow)
On the dance floor, (Ow) On the dance floor, floor floor floor.

I like it Mare,
I like it Mare,
I like it Mare,
I like it like it.

Runway model, fashion show.
In the club gettin’ low,
Lookin’ like she’s getting doh
Why herself from head-to-toe,
Oh no, she a pro-fessional,
Lemme know what it takes to get close so
It makes like Halo-Halo.

Sayaw ka na, (Hey Hey)
Ang ganda mong dalaga,
Sayaw ka na, (Hey Hey)
Gusto kitang kasama.

So let me get it, get it
Let me ge-ge-get it.
Let me get it, get it.

Ahh she,
Look at all these pretty ladies on the dance floor, (Ow)
On the dance floor, (Ow) On the dance floor, floor floor floor.

I like it Mare,
I like it Mare,
I like it Mare,
I like it like it.

Bilis na, dali na tayo, tayong dalawa,
Sayaw ka, sunod ka, gusto kitang kasama.
Kaibigan barkada, magsamasama,
Kahit nasaan ka,
Madama mo sana

Sayaw ka na, (Hey Hey)
Ang ganda mong dalaga,
Sayaw ka na, (Hey Hey)
Gusto kitang kasama.

So let me get it, get it
Let me ge-ge-get it.
Let me get it, get it.

Ahh she,
Look at all these pretty ladies on the dance floor, (Ow)
On the dance floor, (Ow) On the dance floor, floor floor floor.

I like it Mare,
I like it Mare,
I like it Mare,
I like it like it.
