EN: to clatter or rattle violently
This is the sound and feeling of riding a tricycle down a poorly-maintained provincial road. It's not just rattling (*kumalantog*), it's a full-body, bone-jarring experience. The 'kaldag' is the violent jolt you feel. Parang 'yung puso mo kapag nakita mo ex mo may kasamang iba.
The repetition 'kaldag-kaldag' emphasizes the continuous and violent nature of the jolting and rattling.
