[Lyric] JMara - Mahal Kong Pilipinas English Translation (Genius English Translations)

[Title]
My Beloved Philippines

[Intro]
My beloved Philippines
Do you love me?
My slippers are about to have holes
And yet, we're still poor
Nothing to eat, nowhere to live
It’s so hard to find a job
Why must it be like this?
Why? Woah
My beloved Philippines
Do you love me?
My slippers are about to have holes
And yet, we're still poor
Nothing to eat, nowhere to live
It's so hard to find a job
Why must it be like this?
Oh why?
[Verse 1]
I look like a rag now due to work
My hands are full of wounds and thick callus
The case is I still can’t seem to feel any relief
My tongue chokes up medicine that has no effect
It's even rare to get anything out of your people's puppets
Yes, we're so many here
Every day, thinking about how
But every plan seems impossible
After I pay for a debt, a new debt comes along
Why, you ask? Because it's not enough
It's never enough
What I earned today, I already spent yesterday
I used it to buy food

[Chorus]
My beloved Philippines
Do you love me?
My slippers are about to have holes
And yet, we're still poor
Nothing to eat, nowhere to live
It's so hard to find a job
Why must it be like this?
Why? Woah
My beloved Philippines
Do you love me?
My slippers are about to have holes
And yet, we’re still poor
Nothing to eat, nowhere to live
It’s so hard to find a job
Why must it be like this?
Oh why?
[Verse 2]
Please forgive me for what I've done
Whatever life gives us, we have to be grateful for
No matter how much it gives you a hard time, no one has a right
It’s only You and no one else who should be believed
Whatever thing that comes from You should be given care
Woah, ohh, ohh
Woah, ohhh, woahhh (Woahhh)
Whether there is or isn't a blessing, you should always be thankful
Life comes from God so no matter what happens to you, no one can stop
Oh, it's hard but you aren't the only one experiencing this
Every creature in the world is going through something
So if you’re poor, and you also don't believe in God
You don't have the right to complain

[Chorus]
Love the Philippines no matter what happens to you
Even if your shoes get holes. you know you shouldn't ever stop
Love the Philippines
Even if you trip, and your shoes get holes, never stop

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Love the Philippines
Even if you get holed, wrecked, or whatever else it is
Love the Philippines
And don't ever stop
