"Buhat" is a song composed by Mike Velarde, Jr. and performed by Pilita Corrales. It was sung by Rosario Moreno in a party scene in "Tunay na Ina" (1939), by Excelsior Pictures. The song became a smash hit in 1977 after Rico J. Puno performed a passionately quivering rendition of the song. The lyrics tells of the changes in the life of the person after meeting the beloved. The song exudes a "sophistication and cosmopolitanism that overlies countrified sentiments" despite being molded in the traditional style of a danza.
