No Siak So Mangaro - a lovesong

Being married has shown a lot of good and not so good things to me and thus whenever we reach this song in our literature class, it brings me smiles. It brings a lot of good memories not only because of personal reasons but becasue this folksong, No Siak So Mangaro (IF I were to Love) has been very memorable to two of my (now) graduating students. For those who'd like to have some background of the translator to English of this lovesong, No Siak So Mangaro - If I were to Love, feel free to cleck on the link so you'd also know the genius of Dr. Perla Samson-Nelmida
