(English) Hear Me, Please

Hear me, please.

I am dying of loneliness.

My children left me on my knees,

Away, they seek their own happiness.


Hear me, please.

I am being robbed.

My children sold my treasures,

To that foreign mob.


Hear me, please.

I am being forgotten.

My children feels ashamed,

Of being born as my children.


Please, hear me, please.

I am becoming a slave.

My home is full of strangers.

Can I still be called Philippines?
