Sana’y masabi
Sa awit kong ito
Lahat ng ninanais
Nitong puso ko
Sa na saan man
Patungo sa buhay
May pag-ibig, may pag-asa
May saya, at saysay
Sana sa bawat
Sandali matikman pa
Sarap ng pagsasama
At simpleng ligaya
Tarana sakyan lang
Malay mo…………..
Andyan lang
Andyan lang …………..
Ang hinahanap mo….

She looks like a simple 'probinsyana' girl in the Coke commercial and, now, a sophisticated-looking hottie in the 'Dont Cha' video.
