They look at you as mud, your image ridiculed
Magdalena you are not being understood
You are destitute, even unfortunate with love
You are uneducated, having no money
REFRAIN
That is why you sought to be hired, being sent to Mabini
From there on, being dubbed as a prostitute
You may not want it, but you don't have any choice
For you need to live in this world
You bear everything, so difficult is the situation
Your dream, of getting out of poverty
[Repeat REFRAIN]
CHORUS
Magdalena, you are so unfortunate
When will they understand you?
Magdalena, you are so unfortunate
When will they understand you?
Magdalena, Magdalena
You wish to change your ways and live in peace
But the world is just so cruel
Until when will you wait, until when will you endure?
Your prayer, when will it be heard?
