Somewhere in Asia, lives the Princess of Manila
She dwells in the sovereign Palace
Alone but waiting for her lover
She sat by a window made of gold
In her scintillating and beautiful robe
She was waiting with a radiating face
With eyes that narrate the story of love
She kept looking outside
Impatience drowned her soul to tears
She said: where are you, my heart?
But ‘my heart’ could not respond to her
She added: Where are you, my love?
But ‘my love’ could not hear her voice
A river of sadness started flowing
From the heart of the Princess of Manila
When the night fell, she was still waiting
Enraged, she ripped her robe apart
Suddenly a messenger bird knocked the window
It brought a paper from the prince
The paper says: I am almost there my love
She read it and shouted: My love is coming! He is coming!
She then started smiling like a child
And fell back on the bed out of excitement
She called her maid with a tender voice
She shouted again: My love is coming! He is coming!
And then the princess of Manila continued to wait
And fell back on the bed out of excitement
She called her maid with a tender voice
She shouted again: My love is coming! He is coming!
And then the princess of Manila continued to wait
This is the story of the Princess of Manila
