Welcome to the Philippines, where Dota is so popular and widespread that it is a legitimate cause of couples breaking up and that people actually make songs about it. Move over, Taylor Swift. You don’t know heartbreak until you lose your boyfriend to a video game.
If you are wondering if these are jokes or parody songs by trolls, no they are not. They are original and serious (for the lack of a better term). A lot of people say they can relate to these songs because it talks about situations that they have encountered in real life.
Anyway, here are the two videos I have been talking about. These songs are not new, but both of them are in Filipino (Tagalog). That is why I included an English translation in case you’re interested to know what exactly these people are fighting for and about.
Mas mahal mo pa ang Dota (You love Dota (more than me)) by Dino Cornel Productions featuring Ktin
Chorus:
Why is it like this? You love Dota more (than me).
When I sleep every night, you’re still in my arms
When I wake up in the morning, you have already slipped away
Be honest with me.
Do you love Dota more (than me)?
Every morning when I wake up, I have Dota for breakfast
Even if I’m broke, I’m prepared to go and fight
Hoping that I can win one
Make your bet. Enemies will be crushed.
4 on 4 or 5 on 5, that sht will never matter
You will lose mthrfck*r
I’m a farmer
And I’m a killer
Good game for you already! You can try again tomorrow!
(Repeat chorus)
One, two, three, my Mirana will start pushing
You can’t stop me. I already have Manta.
Shooting Arrow! You got hit again!
Sn *f a btch, you’re dead again, btch
Getting chased!
I have Leap, boy. I can’t be caught even by Faceless Void.
Now TP-ing. Keep dreaming.
Sn f a btch, I’ll get you next time
(Repeat chorus)
You shouldn’t be jealous at all.
I won’t choose Dota over you.
What kind of happiness do you even get from that?
That’s none of your business.
Just go to sleep.
