Magtanim ay Di Biro is a popular Filipino folk song narrating the daily lives of Filipino farmers in the province. This song describes both the joys and hardships of planting rice with its lyrics and melody.

Tagalog lyrics: English lyrics:
Magtanim ay di biro Planting (rice) is not a joke
Maghapong nakayuko One is bent all day long
Di naman makatayo Cannot even stand straight
Di naman makaupo Cannot even sit properly

Braso ko'y namamanhid My arms are numb
Baywang ko'y nangangawit. My waist is tired
Binti ko'y namimintig My legs are aching
Sa pagkababad sa tubig. From staying long in the water

Sa umagang paggising In the morning when we wake up
Ang lahat iisipin We think of everything
Kung saan may patanim Where help is needed for planting
May masarap na pagkain. The food is always good

Braso ko'y namamanhid My arms are numb
Baywang ko'y nangangawit. My waist is tired
Binti ko'y namimintig My legs are aching
Sa pagkababad sa tubig. From staying long in the water

Halina, halina, mga kaliyag, Come, come friends
Tayo'y magsipag-unat-unat. Let's stretch our muscles
Magpanibago tayo ng lakas Let's renew our strength
Para sa araw ng bukas For tomorrow
Para sa araw ng bukas! For tomorrow!
