Sa puso ng Maynila sa mataong daan
Si Franz Dalope ay naglalakad na hirap
Nakatanikala sa pag-ibig kay Dan
Isang binatang ang puso'y naguguluhan
Dan his love from Vietnam's shore
Holds his heart but leaves it sore
In her eyes he sees his fate
A life of love but freedom late
Ball and chain of love in Dan's embrace
No freedom yet he stays in place
His heart is hers through night and day
For love he can't break away
Bawat gabi siya'y niyayakap
In shadows deep or morning light
Through all the pain he can't deny
Dan's love is why he doesn't cry
Dreams of skies so wide and free
But love's the lock and she's the key
Tahimik na luha bulong ng pagluha
Ball and chain of love in Dan's embrace
No freedom yet he stays in place
His heart is hers through night and day
For love he can't break away
Sa matamis na bilangguan ng pag-ibig siya'y nananatili
Hawak ng saya at ng mga sakit
Franz Dalope with a heart so true
He'll kill the homies to stay with Dan that's how much he loves her too
