What`s in
1. Moderate because it is for children to sing.
2. It is just right for me because it’s a calm song
3. Duple meter Song meter refers to the recurring patterns and accents the regularly occurs in a
song such as bars and beats. It is usually notated at the beginning of a composition with a time
signature. The song Leron-Leron Sinta uses duple meter. In this song there is a primary division
of 2 beats to the bar. An easy way to determine the song meter is by counting the number of
beats from one strong beat to the next. Here's how the beats appear in Leron-Leron Sinta:
le-RON le-RON sin-TA, bu-KO ng PA-pa-YA
da-LA da-LA'Y bus-LO, si-SID-lan NG sin-TA
There is one weak beat for every one strong beat (in bold). This makes the song a duple meter song.
4. Soft and calm
5. Leron Leron Sinta is about a man named “Leron” and her sweetheart “Neneng”. The song
revolves around the adventures of the two sweethearts as they pick fruits from trees (papaya

Lyrics:
Leron, leron, sinta, buko ng papaya
Dala-dala'y buslo, sisidlan ng sinta
Pagdating sa dulo'y nabali ang sanga
Kapos kapalaran, humanap ng iba
