about

when I was touring in Brazil I was chatting at a late evening with my friend "MyMy Villaflor" and learned a little about her life, we chatted for a long time... it seemed the young Lady was pretty much down, however, I took my notes and promised her to write a song for her, now here is the song :
"AMALIA", her real name... So, this song is dedicated to my friend Amalia. When am back in the Philippines we will meet and continue our discussion we held in Brazil the other day...

lyrics

"Amalia"

1. Amalia is that kind of girl, much to pretty to get asked for a date
she loves to hang out with her friends, maybe one day it will be too late
oh Amalia
she' gonna play clown most of the time when she's with her friends
and shee feels good when she is not alone but doesn't when it ends
oh Amalia

Chorus :

Oh Amalia, oh Amalia, such a pretty star, oh Amalia

2. Amalia is a shy girl too, doesn't want to bother me or you
the young maid never want to make her parents worry, so she runs home in a hurry
oh Amalia
Amalia is a pretty maid, but there's something what makes her afraid...
'coz she's such a pretty star and no one asked her so far...
oh Amalia

Chorus :

Oh Amalia, oh Amalia, such a pretty star, oh Amalia

3. Amalia sits and waits, that's exactly what she hates...
she used to dance on the floor, but today she dances no more...
oh Amalia
Amalia used to dance on the table, but today she is no longer able...
Amalia is now a respected star, she worked hard, that's why she came so far...
yes Amalia, the pretty star...

Chorus 2x :

oh Amalia, oh Amalia, such a pretty star, oh Amalia...
