The Rose of Tacloban |
| I wrote inside my yearbook |
| «To try is to succeed |
| Fried chicken and the rumba |
| The colors pink and cream» |
| Ninoy was my first love |
| But he said I was too tall |
| A rich girl stole the sweetheart |
| Of the Rose of Tacloban |
| The heart grows slightly colder |
| Necessary to survive |
| And money makes it easy |
| In many people’s lives |
| The sky above protects us Don’t know what I will become |
| Or what lies beyond tomorrow |
| For the Rose of Tacloban |
| Elegant women on a magazine page |
| Elegant women, like a paper parade |
| I don’t go out dancing, I just stay at home |
| Cutting out their faces, and replacing them with my own |
| Cutting out their faces, and replacing them with my own |
| The sky above protects us Don’t know what I will become |
| Or what lies beyond tomorrow |
| For the Rose of Tacloban |
| What lies beyond tomorrow for the Rose— |
| Of Tacloban |
