My sister, Elena, were searching across the web when she remember the song Ili ili tulog anay, a Visayan lullaby song. I never heard this song played with instruments, I just heard of this song from my mother or from my music teacher when I was in high school. It sounds creepy for a lullaby, but I really love this song (sounds creepy or it's just me?).
Ili ili tulog anay
Ili-ili tulog anay,
Wala diri imo nanay.
Kadto tienda bakal papay.
Ili-ili tulog anay.
—English translation—
Sleep for a while.
Your mother is not here.
Went to the market to buy bread.
Sleep for a while.
-Lyrics taken from The Absentee Negrense
I grabbed an instrumental version of ili ili tulog anay at Mp3skull. I hope you won't get too much goosebumps while playing this song.

Here the video taken from the film White Lady where the song was featured. Angelica Panganiban and Pauleen Luna, cast of the film, had their own version. Pauleen sung the song much creepier.
