Lucio San Pedro was a Composer and educator from the Philippines. He is noted today for his contribution to the growth of regional band music in the Philippines as well as for his well-known works, including the symphonic poem "Lahing Kayumanggi" and the Filipino lullaby "Sa Ugoy ng Duyan." San Pedro was raised in a musical home and started his profession young. He took over as the neighborhood church organist from his deceased granddad while still in his late teens. He had proactively composed melodies, songs, and two complete masses for voices and symphony at that point.

LYRICS:
Sana'y di magmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan
Sana'y di magmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig ako'y nasa duyan
Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko'y tala
Ang tanod ko'y bituin
Sa piling ni Nanay
Langit ang buhay
Puso kong may dusa
Sabik sa ugoy ng duyan mo Inay
Sana narito ka Inay
Sana'y di magmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig hang ako'y nasa duyan
Sa Ugoy ng Duyan is a Filipino lullaby (literally in Tagalog: "In the Rocking of the Cradle"; official English title: "The Sway of the Baby Hammockâ). Levi Celerio wrote the lyrics, and Lucio San Pedro made the music. They were both recognized as Public Specialists of the Philippines, and this song represented their most well-known joint effort. San Pedro was inspired to write the song's music by the lullaby his mother, Soledad Diestro, used to hum to put him and his siblings to sleep as children. San Pedro and Celerio, who passed away in 2002 just two days apart, were both eventually recognized as National Artists of the Philippines.
