Raining In Manila Lyrics Meaning Lola Amour | Lola Amour
Lola Amour describes loneliness through rain and cold. The lyrics mention lying alone and shivering. A key line says, ‘I’ll be waiting in Manila, even if you’re never coming back’.
It’s been raining in Manila hindi ka ba nilalamigIt’s been raining in Manila, aren’t you feeling the cold?
And it’s been raining in Manila hindi ka ba nilalamigAnd it’s been raining in Manila, aren’t you feeling the cold?
But if it’s raining in Manila hindi kita maririnigBut if it’s raining in Manila, I won’t be able to hear you.
Nakahiga mag-isang nanginginigI’m lying here all alone, shivering.
So I’ll be waiting in Manila kahit ‘di ka na babalikSo I’ll be waiting in Manila, even if you’re never coming back.
Maulan ba sa inyo ‘pag bumubuhos ditoIs it raining where you are when it’s pouring here?
Paumanhin at mukhang hindi koI’m sorry, but it seems that I,
Masasabayan ang ‘yong yapak sa pag-ngiti at pag-iyakcan’t keep up with your steps through the laughter and the tears.
Sa paglipad at pagbagsak ng araw-arawThrough the highs and the lows of every single day.
Sa pagpikit na lang kita matititigan sa mataI can only look you in the eyes when I close mine,
Sa panaginip na magpapaligawin dreams that’ll just lead me astray.
Kamusta ka na kahit ‘wag nang sagutinHow’re you doing? Don’t even bother answering.
‘Di ba nawala ang kintab ng bituinThe stars haven’t lost their shine, have they?
Sana gano’n ka nga pa rinI hope you’ve stayed exactly the same way.
‘Cause it’s been raining in Manila hindi ka ba nilalamig‘Cause it’s been raining in Manila, aren’t you feeling the cold?
Mahirap bang mag-isang nanginginigIs it hard to be shivering all by yourself?
And it’s been raining in Manila hindi ka ba nilalamigAnd it’s been raining in Manila, aren’t you feeling the cold?
‘Pag wala ang mga tala oh-ohWhen the stars aren’t there, oh-oh,
Madilim ba ang mundois the world a dark place?
May kulang ba sa inyo na naiwan ditoIs there something you’re missing that was left behind here?
Aanhin ang ulan sa paraisoWhat’s the point of the rain in paradise?
Sakali madulas ay dati malapit kaIf I were to slip, you used to be so close by.
Ngayon walang kahati ng init ‘pag maulanNow there’s no one to share the warmth with when it rains.
Sana naman tumigil na ang ulanI really wish the rain would just stop.
Kamusta ka na kahit ‘wag nang sagutinHow’re you getting on? Even if you don’t respond,
‘Di ba nawala ang kintab ng bituinthe stars haven’t lost their shine, have they?
Sana gano’n ka nga pa rinI hope you’re still just like that.
‘Cause it’s been raining in Manila hindi ka ba nilalamig‘Cause it’s been raining in Manila, aren’t you feeling the cold?
Mahirap bang mag-isang nanginginigIs it hard to be shivering all by yourself?
And it’s been raining in Manila hindi ka ba nilalamigAnd it’s been raining in Manila, aren’t you feeling the cold?
‘Pag wala ang mga tala oh-ohWhen the stars aren’t there, oh-oh,
Madilim ba ang mundois the world a dark place?
Kamusta ka na kahit ‘wag nang sagutinHow’ve you been? You don’t even need to answer,
‘Di ba nawala ang kintab ng bituinsince the stars haven’t lost their shine, right?
Sana gano’n ka nga pa rinI hope you’re still the same.
But if it’s raining in Manila hindi kita maririnigBut if it’s raining in Manila, I won’t be able to hear you.
Nakahiga mag-isang nanginginigI’m lying here all alone, shivering.
So I’ll be waiting in Manila kahit ‘di ka na babalikSo I’ll be waiting in Manila, even if you’re never coming back.
And’yan lang ang mga tala oh-oh and’yan lang ang mga talaThe stars are right there, oh-oh, the stars are right there,
Saan mang sulok ng mundono matter which corner of the world you’re in.
