Текст и перевод песни Freddie Aguilar - Magdalena

Magdalena

Tingin sa 'yo'y isang putik, larawan mo'y nilalait
Magdalena, ikaw ay 'di maintindihan
Ika'y isang kapos-palad, bigo ka pa sa pag-ibig
Hindi ka nag-aral 'pagkat walang pera
Kaya ika'y namasukan, do'n sa Mabini napadpad
Mula noon, binansagang "kalapating mababa ang lipad"
Hindi mo man ito nais, ika'y walang magagawa
'Pagkat kailangan mong mabuhay sa mundo
Tinitiis mo ang lahat, kay hirap ng kalagayan
Ang pangarap mo'y maahon sa hirap
Kaya ika'y namasukan, do'n sa Mabini napadpad
Mula noon, binansagang "kalapating mababa ang lipad"
Magdalena, ikaw ay sawimpalad
Kailan ka nila maiintindihan?
Magdalena, ikaw ay sawimpalad
Kailan ka nila maiintindihan?
Magdalena
Magdalena
Ibig mo nang magbago at mamuhay na nang tahimik
Ngunit ang mundo'y sadyang napakalupit
Hanggang kailan maghihintay? Hanggang kailan magtitiis?
Ang dalangin mo, kailan maririnig?
Magdalena, ikaw ay sawimpalad
Kailan ka nila maiintindihan?
Magdalena, ikaw ay sawimpalad
Kailan ka nila maiintindihan?
Magdalena

Magdalena

Your eyes are like dirt, criticized photos of you
Magdalena, no one can understand you
You're unfortunate, bad luck in love
You didn't study because you had no money
So, you became hired, went to work in Mabini
Since then, you've been called a "low-flying dove"
Even though you don't want it, you can't do anything
Because you have to live in this world
You endure it all, it's hard to live like this
Your dream is to get out of poverty
So, you became hired, went to work in Mabini
Since then, you've been called a "low-flying dove"
Magdalena, you're tragic
When will they understand you?
Magdalena, you're tragic
When will they understand you?
Magdalena
Magdalena
You want to change, to live a quiet life
But the world is so cruel
How long will you wait? How long will you endure this?
When will your prayers be answered?
Magdalena, you're tragic
When will they understand you?
Magdalena, you're tragic
When will they understand you?
Magdalena
