Freddie Aguilar
Magdalena (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
They look at you like you're a mud, you are being insulted
Magdalena, you’re being misunderstood
You're an unlucky person, you even failed on love
You didn't go to school, because you have no money

[Refrain]
That is why you sought to be hired, being sent to Mabini
From there on, you were nicknamed "A prostitute"

[Verse 2]
You don’t want this, but you don't have any choice
For you need to live in this world
You have to bear everything, even if the situation is very difficult
So your dream of being lifted from poverty will be successful

[Refrain]
That is why you sought to be hired, being sent to Mabini
From there on, you were nicknamed "A prostitute"

[Chorus]
Magdalena, you're so unlucky
When will they understand you?
Magdalena, you're so unlucky
When will they understand you?
Magdalena, Magdalena
[Verse 3]
You wish to change and live in peace
But the world is just so cruel
Until when will you wait, until when will you endure this?
Your prayer, when will it be heard?

[Chorus]
Magdalena, you're so unlucky
When will they understand you?
Magdalena, you're so unlucky
When will they understand you?
Magdalena, Magdalena
