'serenade'
In the old days, when a man wants to court a chic, he'd ask her father's permission to 'come up' meaning to come up their stairs at some given evening and talk to her and her parents in the living room...to court her in supervision. to make good impressions. then after a while if he's really into her, he'd bring along a buddy or buddies (one to play guitar for and one to sing for in behalf) at night to serenade her below her window. or even tell her poems. the songs and poems usually have a certain i don't know to say it, 'beat' or rhytm filipino style. what he's trying to gain is the 'matamis na oo' or "the sweet yes". yes means "yes i will date you exclusively" or back in the day, "yes i will marry you".
