Blake, a British vocal group, performs "Manila" (originally by Filipino band The Hotdogs) live in front of 65,000 Filipinos in London at Barrio Fiesta 2013.
Manila Lyrics
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
According to wikipedia, "Manila" is a song by Filipino band The Hotdogs. The song is written about love for the Philippine capital. It tells about a man who misses Manila while living in another country for years. The upbeat song was inspired by Tony Bennett's hit single, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". It topped the radio charts in 1984.
Something special for all our Filipino friends and fans around the world! BLAKE miss Manila very very much and we know that many of you do too, so, here is a song (sung by us in Tagalog) just for you! This was recorded live in front of 65,000 Filipinos at Barrio Fiesta 2013. ~ Blake
