Philippines

O, how I long for the island of Mindanao
Philippines, island 3

How I long to see my town of Initao
The town that does love me

O, how I wish to see my grandmama
With her beautiful hazel eyes

O, how I long for my family
I can still remember their goodbyes

They gave me lovely fruit
Kissed me on the cheek

I have mosquito bites
I had sunburns for 10 weeks

I love the Philippines
They have the lovely beaches

How I long for my beautiful Philippines
It feels like I haven't been there for ages

I miss you, my lovely Philippines
I miss your clear blue skies

I miss your perfect seashells
I miss the twinkle in Nanay's eyes

O, I will soon go to the Philippines
And then I will not cry

I love my darling Philippines
And how its memories make me smile
