"Leron, Leron Sinta" ("My Dear Little Leron") is a traditional Tagalog folk/work song from the Philippines.
From the University of California, Berkeley Folklore Archives I have learned that the song is representative of those sung in the fields and orchards in the Philippines. It is often presented as a children's song; but it may be better described as a work song with a catchy tune and a bit of humour that is sung to help make the hard work of the day more tolerable.
Although a number of verses exist, the first verse is perhaps best known. It is traditionally sung by a woman whose lover, Leron, climbs up a papaya tree, bringing with him a large bamboo basket in which he plans to place the ripe fruit for his loved one. But as he climbs higher, the branch on which he is perched breaks. With this "poor luck," she must now look for someone to take his place.
I have seen a number of translations; however, the following seems to be consistent with the descriptions and interpretations of the song that I have read:
"Leron, leron, my love,
["Leron, leron sinta,]
Up a papaya tree,
[uko ng papaya,]
With him a basket new
[Dala dala'y buslo]
To hold the fruit for me.
[isidlan ng sinta.]
But when he reached the top
[agdating sa dulo'y]
A branch broke off in haste,
[abali ang sanga,]
'Twas such an evil luck,
[Kapos kapalaran,]
The lost one please replace."
[Humanap ng iba."]

Probably because Tite Kubo is in to Architecture, or maybe he just wanted to create a general theme for The Espadas. Often characters are named after certain people, like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who are all named after 15th century Renaissance Artists.
Sibling Love. They grew up together and therefor have a bond similar to siblings but nothing more seeing as Tite Kubo (author/artist of Bleach) doesn't want any romantic relationships between the cast because he feels that they have more potential than that.
