    THE KANKANEY

    WEDDING
    TRADITIONS
    The Kankanaey live in western
    Mountain Province, northern
    Benguet and southeastern Ilocos
    Sur, They speak Kankanaey and
    Ilocano.
    The marriage customs of the
    Kankanaey are similar to the
    Ibalois. They practice parental
    marriage (arranged marriages). A
    wedding is celebrated with big
    feasts and many rituals done
    before and during the wedding
    ceremony. Butchering of animals
    is a very important part of the
    wedding. In the past there have
    been cases of intermarriages
    with lowland people.
    Preparations
    "Menpabey", it is the term
    used in Cordillera which means
    "marry'. If their is a boy and a
    girl who wants to get married,
    the parents of both sides will
    talk to each other to settle the
    wedding. If it's already settled,
    some of their relatives will be
    going to get a wood, some will
    go to get "ube" because ube is
    they're going to start the first
    part of the ceremony which is
    the "KALANG". The elders will be
    starting to gather dried meats
    which is the "ETAG" or "LANGEB".
    If they're not going to have the
    opening of that occasion, then
    they will start to butcher.
    The elders will be starting to
    gather dried meats which is the

    start to butch. They will be
    butchering the hogs or the cattle
    or the buffalo.

    WEDDING SONG

    Lyrics:
    (Kankana-ey)
    Edwani enkami inmali
    Isnan na-ay kasar yo edwani
    Ta umali mi iyali nan gabay yo nan gabay
    yo ay sin ag-i
    Menkasi layad kayo et baw
    Ta adi kayo man ib-ibaw
    Nu wada'y esa ay iskumsaw
    Epepey yo, epepey yo di ang-angaw.
    We have come here today
    In this, your wedding day
    To bring good luck for all of you,
    brothers and sisters
    Love each other
    and do not fight
    Be understanding to each other
    Be happy and enjoy your life.
    Nan Layad Nan Likatan
    Nan layad ensikhafan, Tet-eway sikhab
    Layad ay nenlikatan, Nar-os cha am-in.

    Seg-ang yangkay nan wad-ay, Sik-a et achi mampay


    Ya ngag kasin ta angnen, Nar-os chat am-in.

    San enta nenfowekhan, Ad-im ngen semken


    San enta nenpachangan, Nar-os cha am-in

    Layad tay chachama


    Ento pay kasin chachi, Nar-os chat am-in.

    Tak-en mo mimowasan, Someg-ang ka man


    Ta kasin ta lomanen, San layad tay chwa.

    San layad tay chachama, Wedwechas fangonen ta


    Tat ampay en-among ta, Omafong tay chwa.
    The love of a lifetime, It's really full of hardship
    The love which has been labored, It's all in the past

    Commitment and care are all, That exist now


    What else can we do, It's all in the past

    The time when we were together, Can't you reminisce them?


    The time when we had helped each other, It's all in the past

    Take on me, Let's reflect once more


    Our love with each other

    Our love so true, Let us again awaken


    Let's come together finally and get married

    Our love so true, Every hardship that we faced


    It's all in the past
