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 here to stay
"Manila" is a song of the band Hotdog , a band that gained its fame in the early 1970's . In their era, the band introduced a genre called "Manila Sound", a theme depicts the light and happy side of being in Manila or the Philippines as a whole.

The persona in this song is a Filipino currently located on another country.He describes what he misses on this dear place called Manila.A place he compared to a loved lady - even left towards a new place,still yearns and longing to come back.He compares the streets of Manila to the countries and ladies he have met.Those places were wonderful to him but he can't still feel being at home to.
What a wonderful song to promote our own tourism.
It's More Fun In the Philippines!!!
