[Estrella:]
I was just a young girl
A girl with curly hair
Your mother called me family
I became quite close to her
I handled all the money
Washed the clothes and made the meals
In the night she?d wake up screaming
So you children slept with me
[Estrella & Imelda:]
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you?re poor ? it?s like you?re naked
And every drop of rain you feel
[Estrella:]
When it rained we slept on boxes
There was water all around
[Imelda:]
But the people in the big house
Never bothered to find out
No clothes, no bed, no jewelry
Sometimes I had no shoes
[Estrella:]
A typhoon came ? the house collapsed
And the neighbors passed us food
[Estrella & Imelda:]
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you?re poor ? it?s like you?re naked
And every drop of rain you feel
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel ? every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel ? every drop of rain
[Estrella:]
I handled our finances
I myself was never paid
[Imelda:]
My teachers paid a visit
I felt, felt so ashamed
But I had kept my dignity
Some things cannot be killed
I smiled and kept my head up
A Romualdez I was still
[Estrella & Imelda:]
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel ? every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel ? every drop of rain
