Kasadya Ning Taknaa (English: How Blissful is this Season, lit. 'Happy is this Hour') is a Cebuano Christmas carol composed in 1933 by Vicente Rubi with lyrics by Mariano Vestil. Its famous counterpart is Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit, a modified version of the song written by Levi Celerio with lyrics in Tagalog (but not as a translation of the original); however, Celerio is often given all songwriting credit without any acknowledgment of Rubi and Vestil.[1]

Lyrics[edit]

Kasadya ning Taknaa (Cebuano)[2][3][4]
How Blissful is this Season (English)[5]

Pasiuna
Kasadya ning taknaa
Dapit sa kahimayaan
Maoy among nakita
Ang panagway masanagon
Bulahan ug bulahan
Ang tagbalay nga gi-awitan
Awit nga halandumon sa tanang Pasko
Magmalipayon!

Koro
Bag-ong tuig
Bag-ong kinabuhi
Duyogan ta sa atong gibati
Atong awiton aron sa kalipay
kitang makaangkon

Koro
Pasiuna
Pagtapos
Awit nga halangdumon sa tanang Pasko
Magmalipayon!

Preface
Oh, happy is this hour!
In this place nearest to the Holy
Where all that we witness
Are faces brightened up and jolly.
Blessed indeed, how blessed
Are the houses serenaded
With songs of noble sound and word, and every Christmas day
Will be full of bliss!

Chorus:
With the New Year
Is a new life to live!
Together with all our wishes and hopes,
Come let us sing them, oh come let us hum them
to fill our hearts with bliss

Chorus
Preface
Coda
With songs of noble sound and word, and every Christmas day
Will be full of bliss!
