Maraming beses na kitang nilayasan (A lot of times I’ve left you)
Iniwanan at ibang pinuntahan (Left you and went to some other place)
Parang babaeng mahirap talagang malimutan (Like a woman that’s hard to forget)
Ikaw lamang and aking laging binabalikan (You’re the only one I go back to)

Manila, 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 Disney Land
Dated a million girls in Sydney
But somehow I feel like I don’t belong

Hinahanap hanap kita Manila (I’m longing/looking for you Manila)
Ang ingay mo’y kay sarap sa taenga (Your noise is good my ears)
Mga jeepney mong nagliliparan (Your “Jeepneys” that fly)
Mga babae mong nag gagandahan (The beautiful women all around you)

Take me back in your arms Manila
And promise me you’ll never let go
Promise me you’ll never let go

Manila, Manila
I keep coming back to Manila
Simply no place like Manila
Manila I’m coming home

Hinahanap hanap kita Manila (I’m longing/looking for you Manila)
Ang ingay mo’y kay sarap sa taenga (Your noise is good my ears)
Mga jeepney mong nagliliparan (Your “Jeepneys” that fly)
Mga babae mong nag gagandahan (The beautiful women all around you)

Take me back in your arms Manila
And promise me you’ll never let go
Promise me you’ll never let go
