Another song by Comic Relief. This time it’s a Chavacano song that a suitor can sing to his beloved. 🙂 It’s called Cuando. Or in English, When?

Here is the original video, but I warn you. It’s not pretty. In fact it just shows how boys can be “cochinadas”! That means “filthy” or “disgusting”. If you want to call someone disgusting you just yell at him “Cochino bos!!!” (You pig!). 😉
