Cinderella is a Filipino pop group that rose to prominence in the 1970s. The group recorded for Sunshine Records, and together with contemporaries Hotdog, formed the impetus of what would be the Manila sound movement. Cinderella's most recognized single is "T.L. Ako Sa'yo" (loosely translated to "You're My True Love", where T.L. is an acronym for "True Love"). Other stand-out songs include such eventual classics as "Bato sa Buhangin" ("Pebbles in the Sand"), "Sa Aking Pag-iisa" ("In My Solitude") and "Superstar ng Buhay Ko" ("Superstar of My Life").
Background
Cinderella's initial line-up consisted of Snaffu Rigor (vocals and drums), Sunny Ilacad (keyboard), Bob Guzman (guitars and vocal back-up), Celso Llarina (rhythm guitar and vocal back-up), Gig Ilacad (bass guitar), Cecile Colayco (lead vocals), and Violy Estrellado (back-up vocals). After the release of their eponymous debut album, Colayco and Estrellado left the group. With the role of lead vocalist having been vacated, University of Santo Tomas student Yolly Samson successfully auditioned for Sunshine and was hired as Colayco's permanent replacement; subsequently becoming the face of Cinderella. Comedians Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, affiliates of Sunshine and good friends of the group, also contributed songs, the most notable being the hit single "Ang Boyfriend Kong Baduy". With the increase of their popularity; Rigor was commissioned to collaborate with film composer Ernani Cruz and pen the lyrics for the theme song of the Fernando Poe Jr. and Vilma Santos vehicle Bato sa Buhangin (1976), to be recorded by the group. The song gained a sudden resurgence after being covered by Glaiza de Castro for the historical drama picture Goyo (2018).
On November 21, 1997, Yolly Samson died from complications of brain cancer, aged 41. On August 4, 2016, Snaffu Rigor died of lung cancer.
Language
The band wrote their songs in Taglish (code-switching between Tagalog and English) and street jargon that was popular in urban areas during the 1970s.
For example, in the song "T.L. Ako Sa'yo", Cinderella used the word "dehins", formed from hindi ("no"). It is Tagalog street jargon which reverses the word, thereby making it sound like it is English. Also as previously mentioned, the acronym "T.L." stands for "True Love".
The title of the song "Ang Boyfriend Kong Baduy" is also in Taglish, as are its lyrics:
...but when we go out dating na, kulay ng polo niya'y pula... ("but when we already go out dating, the colour of his shirt is red")
...but when the guests go dancing na, lagi pa syang nauuna... ("but when the guests already go dancing, he's always first")
...'di ko ma-take ang gusto. Siya ay in-na-in, ngunit out pa rin... ("I can't stand his tastes. He's so in but still so out")
In the song "Ang Boypren Ko", the word "boypren" is an alteration of the English "boyfriend"; the title literally means "My Boyfriend".
The song "Sana'y Maging Steady Mo" translates to "I Wish I Could Be Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend". In this context, the word "steady" is used as a noun that refers to one's boyfriend or girlfriend.
