In celebration of the 439th anniversary of my hometown, 24 June 2010. Maligayang Araw ng Maynila!
Hotdog – “Manila”
Maraming beses na kitang nilayasan / Iniwanan at iba’ang pinuntahan / Parang bababeng ang hirap talagang malimutan / Ikaw lamang ang aking laging binabalikan
(Quiapo Quiapo Quiapo, isa na lang ah, aalis na. Para!) Manila…
I keep coming back to Manila / Simply no place like Manila / Manila, I’m coming home
I walked the streets of San Francisco / I’ve tried the rides in Disneyland / Dated a million girls in Sydney / Somehow I feel like I don’t belong
Hinahanap hanap kita Manila / Ang ingay mong kay sarap sa tenga / Mga jeepney mong nagliliparan / Mga babae mong naggagandahan / Take me back in your arms Manila / And promise me you’ll never let go / Promise me you’ll never let go
Manila, Manila / Miss you like hell, Manila / No place in the world like Manila / I’m coming home to stay…

Truly, “No place in the world like Manila”. But I’m still not on the “I’m coming home to stay”. Maybe someday.
Someday….
In the meantime, you can always visit.
