Lyrics:
Laing, ling-et, ken luwa
Tured, pigsa, ken dara
Naidaton ti biag mo
Kangatuan a sakripisyo
Banwar ka ti umili
Banwar ti Kordilyera
Ella, ella, ellalay, salidummay
Hey!
Sika ti silawmi
Tarabay ti umili
Inspirasyon ti dangadang
Aginggana't balligi
Banwar ka ti umili
Banwar ti Kordilyera
Ella ella ellalay, salidummay
Hey!
Dakami sumursurot
Ti imbatim a tugot
Dalan narugian
Suruten ti kaaduan
Banwar ka ti umili
Banwar ti Kordilyera
Ella, ella, ellalay, salidummay
Hey!
Dakami't mangituloy
Laban a naugnay
Daga ken kinabaknang
Biag 'tay salakniban
Banwar ka ti umili
Banwar ti Kordilyera
Ella, ella, ellalay, salidummay
Hey!
Bumangon, lumaban
Gun-oden, bantayan
Wayawaya, demokrasya
Hustisya ken kapya
Banwar ka ti umili
Banwar ti Kordilyera
Ella, ella, ellalay, salidummay
Hey!

I heard this song performed at Ka Joma's final farewell today, a very moving song.

May I know what "ela ela elalay" means? Thank you!! Mabuhay ang awiting Pinoy!!!

[@phcrowns921]

Ela ela elalay has no direct meaning but it expresses different emotions depending on the context of the song.
This is what I have observed since "Ela ela elalay" is used in different songs that I had heard. I think "Ela ela elalay" gives different meaning depending on the listener.
