      Gloc9's songs is a reflection of what he sees in society... You should check out his other songs like "Lando" his 1st hit it's about a tragic love story. "Upuan" is about politics, "Magda" (short for Magdalena) is a bout a woman who was led astray. He also have some happy vibes song like "Bayle". You will be amaze his songs actually tells a story.

    Sirena is a song about LGBTQ+, its a story about a gay growing up in a homophobic family but at the end he was accepted by his father. Gloc 9 usually write songs that has social relevance.

      Wrong, its about a transwoman, Transwoman is different from gay. A gay person is someone attracted to same sex but still identifies as birth sex.

    Gays in Philippines are lovingly called Sir/Reyna ( sir/queen) referring to gays who love to dress up like a queen, also because the Philippines male culture of being "Macho" having a gay child, fathers consider having a gay child an insult to his masculinity and would sometime punished their kids by dunking them in a water filled drum, whenever the father catch them acting out, so some gays later in their life talk about their stories, explained that they got so used to the punishment that they became a siren or mermaid being in the water all the time :)

  • @williamarceo4450
    @williamarceo4450 3 года назад +369

    "sirena" which is derived Spanish word have 3 different meanings in Tagalog and other Filipino dialect depending on usage 1) sirena also pertains to mermaids
    2) sirena also.meant an alarm like an ambulance's or firetruck siren
    3) thirdly and recent in modern Filipino culture --sirena is also another slang word for gay person specifically male homosexuals

    @shengmari3806 3 года назад +163

    I hope you didnt miss the last part. When Gloc 9 narrated how the gay son was the only one left to take care of his father when he was already sick. And saying in the last line of that verse that sometimes, Gays are even more manly than most Men.
    Gloc9 is not just not for his fast raps but also because of his lyricism. You should check out his other songs.😉

  • @kriannegarcia4448
    @kriannegarcia4448 3 года назад +67

    Basically, the chorus says, " i am a mermaid, no matter what they say, I am beautiful. I am a mermaid, no matter what they do, my flag stands strong." And then, he narrates how muscly arms hold him down, & he can stay long getting his head dunked in a drum of water bcoz he's not totally accepted by society as gay. He uses this as a positive way to say he is a mermaid regardless. 🔥

  • @airplay05078
    @airplay05078 3 года назад +35

    In the last stanza it says:
    ""Anak, patawad sana sa lahat ng aking nagawa
    'Di sinusukat ang tapang at ang bigote sa mukha
    Dahil kung minsan, mas lalake pa sa lalake ang bakla"
    In English:
    "My child, sorry for what I've done in the past
    Manliness/Bravery is not measured by the amount of hair in your face
    Because sometimes, gays are manlier than men"
    It's a rough translation of it. The context was - he was only one left taking care of his old man after getting cancer.

  • @InahCayabyab
    @InahCayabyab 3 года назад +86

    when you realize that being a "sirena" also means that the father is submerging him/her in a drum of water as punishment because of being the way he/she is, the chorus just makes me sad :

  • @qweendy_

    My apologies I posted on a previous reaction. THE ORIGIN of GAY MERMAID CONNECTION. The first time I heard sirena (mermaid) was referred to "Gays" in the Philippines was on a comedy film starring comedian Joey De Leon in the early 80s. In one scene an angry father is torturing his son (Joey) by dipping him in a drum filled with water. The father would then raise him and ask him "Are you a MAN or a WOMAN?" In the end the very wet and angry son defiantly declares-- "SERENA AKO!" (I'M A MERMAID!). Today in the Philippines Gays has achieved so much acceptance and respecct.

    The life of a typical homosexual man being depicted in a song with such clarity is one of the reasons why the LGBTQ Community in the country is somewhat being accepted already. Gloc9 is an artist who I think will forever be remembered by his true-to-life compositions.

That is why he made this song to tell people that thier is nothing wrong with being transgender.

    I am a mermaid
    Whatever they say, I am very beautiful
    I am a mermaid
    Whatever they do, my flag will not fall
    Drum of water is where I dive
    Gigantic arms are pounding me down
    Drum of water is where I dive
    For longest breather, with me, you'll be amazed

    Starting from when I was younger
    You'll notice whenever I play
    Therefore everyone seems confused
    that I excel in Chinese garter and hopscotch
    My lips are very red
    From the gum I chewed
    Always walking in front of the mirror
    telling myself "who can they match"
    While waist is swaying
    Earrings that are moving
    Using the powder that was purchased from Mrs. Bebang
    To hide the bruises on my face
    that came from my father
    who is apparently not happy every time I am seen
    Always beaten
    As time goes by, I am not even aware
    that instead of becoming harder, it seems that it gets softer
    this heart of mine that is very loving
    like curly eyelashes

    I am a mermaid
    Whatever they say, I am very beautiful
    I am a mermaid
    Whatever they do, my flag will not fall
    Drum of water is where I dive
    Gigantic arms are pounding me down
    Drum of water is where I dive
    For longest breather, to me, you'll be amazed

    Until I became a young man
    Wait a minute, wrong, a young woman instead
    But why every one is still confused?
    What are your problems?
    Is it because my gestures are different
    From what's to be seen by your eyes
    Every ball game I watched I always gawk
    Even if the ball is not in, I am still happy
    Even callused by your strength, because that is just how
    I was whipped by a tube even if it's rusty
    "Stop it already father, I will not be stubborn
    I will not wear the old skirt of mom
    Whenever I feel like crying, I dash through the rain
    I just think that I might be adopted
    Because everyday I am beaten incessantly
    and reaching my beauty that's for under the ocean

    I am a mermaid
    Whatever they say, I am very beautiful
    I am a mermaid
    Whatever they do, my flag will not fall
    Drum of water is where I dive
    Gigantic arms are pounding me down
    Drum of water is where I dive
    For longest breather, with me, you'll be amazed

    Years have passed that one by one they got married
    my siblings, all of them went along
    going far away, can't even visit
    "Time to eat father, the table is ready"
    being guide when walking, stepping one by one
    now wasted what is then a muscular body
    when your birthday comes, I'll try to replace
    the sadness you're feeling, please let's not go back
    Even if disgusted, not because of cancer
    But because the one who taking care of you is in a dress
    One night, you called me, drawing near
    beside you, you reached, held
    my hand even though it's hard to speak
    "Son, may you forgive me for all that I have done"
    "You can't measure bravery and mustache on a face"
    "Because at time, gays are manlier than men"

    Drum of water is where I dive
    Gigantic arms are pounding me down
    Drum of water is where I dive
    For longest breather,
    with me, you'll be amazed
    I am a mermaid
    Whatever they do,
    my flag will not fall
    This is the closest translation from google search.
    This song is about the story of an individual, specifically a gay having hardships from his dad. "sirena" is what's used in here to represent their beauty, strength and endurance regardless of how hard the poundings and abuse are. You will appreciate this song more once you understand the whole meaning of it.

    Sirena Gloc used this as play of words since sirena (mermaid) is usually used to refer to gays. It's delivers a great message an eye opener since it discusses the hardships of a gay person in a traditional family.

    You're both correct about the Sirena, they both mean "mermaid" and "siren on an ambulance.
