This is a cradle song that enables the baby to calm down, relax and eventually fall sleep so that the mother could do the laundry. It portrays the usual setting in the coastal towns of Pangasinan where the mother takes care of the baby and the father goes fishing in the sea to provide sustenance for the family.

It insinuates that the father also takes turn in caring for the baby especially when he is not out in the sea because the song says, “Go to sleep my son for father is not here. He went to catch fish in the sea.”

The song has a 2/4 time signature and in the key of C Major.
