Sampaguita Song

Just a lil' sumthin per the request of a Bastard. Lol! hope this helped!

Sampaguita Song
-rey

Flashing lights before your eyes
Jeepneys and taxis flying by
Dare these seas of machina
Swim the ocean of Manila

Spread the angels' breath
With every string, every wreath
Tempt the senses for a few pesos
Crack a smile albeit angry bellows
Watch the lights,
Then maybe not
Cheat life to live
Perhaps drivers forgive.

Sing your song
Raise your hands
Sing between the lanes
Sing from the stands

"For the Santo NiƱo,
For the Blessed Mother,
For the ailing sister,
For the jeepney driver!

Sampaguita! Sampaguita!
Buy a string, buy a wreath
Buy the beauty and the scent
Of the angels' breath!"
