2. Ang Pipit
The song is about a pipit whose wing was
injured by a stone thrown by a man. The little

6. My Interpretation
• Ang Pipit is a Filipino song which has been sung by Levi Celerio.
The song is actually a cry of hope, sense of freedom of Filipinos.
The singer has given resemblance of the context to a Pipit which
is a small bird. Just like a bird that is bound in the cage, there
are Filipinos that are bound with the chains of slavery. They
don’t live a free life and cannot do what they want or how they
want. So the song is basically a voice of one such Filipino
7. The Difference

The pipit loves to sing a song and
its has a broken wings that’s why the
pipit can’t fly anymore due to fracture.
Natural Bird
The natural bird can fly everywhere
while the pipit has a small and broken
wings so that the natural bird can fly
all over the place.
