What is the meaning of the song magdalena by Freddie aguilar?

Answer 1

Even before Aguilar's rendition of "Bayan Ko," Aguilar created and performed songs targeted at social injustices. His album, Magdaleno included songs about a girl forced into prostitution as a result of poverty and the Christian-Muslim clashes in his song Mindanao. After the album, Freddie Aguilar also sang about the injustices suffered by the powerless, poverty, and the arrogance of superpowers in a song about the U.S. and Russia.

Magdalena

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?

Answer 2

This song is a symbol of women getting into the kind of work they don't even want but they can't do anything about. Wants to express the attitude of women who are not even socially fit but there are reasons and reasons why they did. Despite everything I would like to point out that there are still ways a person can do to make a dignified fit to sell meat.
