Sana'a (Arabic: صنعاء Ṣanʿāʾ pronounced [sˤɑnʕaːʔ], Yemeni Arabic: [ˈsˤɑnʕɑ]), also spelled "Sana", is the capital of Yemen and the centre of San‘a’ Governorate; however the city itself is not part of the Governorate, but forms the separate administrative district of "Amanat Al-Asemah".
Sana'a is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. At an altitude of 2,300 metres (7,500 ft), it is also one of the highest capital cities in the world. Sana'a has a population of approximately 1,748,000 (2010) making it Yemen's largest city. The old city of Sana'a, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has a distinctive visual character due its unique architectural characteristics, most notably expressed in its multi-story buildings decorated with geometric patterns.
Sana'a is one of the oldest populated places in the world. According to popular legend it was founded by Shem, the son of Noah. It was known as "Azal" in ancient times, referring to Uzal, a son of Qahtan who was a great-grandson of Shem. Its current name likely derived from the South Arabian word for "well-fortified". Arab historian al-Hamdani wrote that Sana'a was walled by the Sabeans under their ruler Sha'r Awtar who also built the Ghumdan Palace in the city. Because of its location, Sana'a has served as an urban center for the surrounding tribes of the region and as a nucleus of regional trade in southern Arabia. It was positioned at the crossroad of two major ancient trade routes linking Marib in the east to the Red Sea in the west.

Nilibot na ang buong mundo
Di pa rin ako nakukuntento
Makakahanap ng ipapalit
Nang walang babala
Lumipas ay nagbabalik pala
Nalilito na ako hindi na dapat gan'to
Nakaraan ay natapos at napagdaanan na
Bakit na sisindak pa sa t'wing naaalala
Matatauhan na wala ka na pala
Ako sila'y nandito na
Ikaw na lang ang kulang
Anong lunod o lalim ba't 'di na lang lumutang
Anong pait ang matamis at aking susubukan
Anong silbi ng narito
'Di mo na kailangan
Hindi nga nagtagal ang pagpapanggap na 'to
Kaliwa at kanan harap at likod ano mang anggulo
Titigan ay bumibigay ako
Damdamin ay kay bigat
Naisip na ang lahat
Wala na ba talaga akong magagawa pa
Ako sila'y nandito na
Ikaw na lang ang kulang
Anong lunod o lalim ba't 'di na lang lumutang
Anong tamis ang mapait at aking iiwasan
Walang silbi ang narito
'Di mo na kailangan
Wala na bang makakapantay at di na ba dapat pang maghintay
Ako lang ba ang nagkasala?
Kumakapit sa natitirang sana.
Kung babalik ka pa hanggang kailan kaya?
Ako dito mag aabang na magdutong na ang patlang
Ang kulang ay mapupunan wala nang makahahadlang
Wala na yatang hihigit sa pangungulila ko
Iba na bang nagbibigay ng mga kailangan mo?
Oh sana
Kay higpit ng kapit sa unan kagabi ko
Oh sana
Sayang, nanghihinayang
Na ngayo'y wala ka na
Hinayaan, pinalipas ang mga pagkakataon
Na ikaw at ako'y magkasama sa habang panahon
At ngayo'y wala ka na
Sa iba'y kapiling ka
Pa'no na?
Ako na lang sana
Ang nagmamay-ari ng puso mo
Ako na lang sana
Ang hinahanap at binubulong na
Sana ay tayong dalawa.
Sayang, pinabayaan
Na sumama sa iba
Hinayaan di pinaglaban ang
Sana'y sa 'ting dalawa
Ala-ala mo'y hinahanap ng pusong nag-iisa
At ngayo'y wala ka na
Sa iba'y kapiling ka
Pano na?
Ako na lang sana
Ang nagmamay-ari ng puso mo
Ako na lang sana
Ang hinahanap at binubulong na
Sana ay tayong dalawa.
Ako na lang sana
Ang nagmamay-ari ng puso mo
Ako na lang sana
Ang hinahanap at binubulong na
Ako na lang sana
Ang nagmamay-ari ng puso mo
Ako na lang sana
Ang hinahanap at binubulong na
Sana ay...
Sana ay...
Sana ang buhay ay walang dulo o hangganan
Sana wala ng taong mahirap o mayaman
Sana iisa ang kulay
Sana wala ng away
Sana'y pag ibig na lang ang isipin ng bawat isa sa mundo
Sana'y pag ibig na lang ang isipin sana'y magkatotoo
Sana laging magbigayan
Sana laging magmahalan
Sana ang tao'y hindi nagugutom o nauuhaw
Sana'y hindi na gumagabi o umaaraw
Sana ay walang tag init
Sana ay walang taglamig
Sana'y pag ibig na lang ang isipin ng bawat isa sa mundo
Sana'y pag ibig nalang ang isipin
Sana'y magkatotoo
Sana'y laging magbigayan
Sana'y laging magmahalan
Sana'y pag ibig nalang ang isipin ng bawat isa sa mundo
Ang yakap ko sana pa rin ikaw
Init kong panlaban tuwing magiginaw
At ikaw pa rin sana ang siyang tinatanaw
'Pag uwi mo, 'pag lubog na ang araw
Halik mo rin sana ang gigising
At 'di kanyang labi tuwi kang mahimbing
Ang almusal mo sana akong naghahain
Masarap ba siyang magluto kaysa 'kin?
O, kung di lang kita sana iniwan pa
Sana'y ako ang kapiling mo
At hindi siya ang masaya
O, kung di lang kita sana iniwan pa
At hindi ako nagtaksil sa 'yo
Sana ngayon, o sana...
Ako pa rin ang lagi mong kasama
'Di sana ako nagkasala
Ako at ikaw pa rin
Nasimula lahat sa ‘di sinasdya
Hanggang nagmahalan nang ‘di alam ang tunay na dahilan
‘Di makalimutan no'ng tayo'y nagsumpaan
Nangako sa isa't-isa na kailanma'y ‘di maghihiwalay
Kay sakit isipin bigla mo nalang binawi'ng pagmamahal na inalay sa akin
Sana, mahal, huwag mo akong pahirapan nang gan'to
Eto ako, ramdam mo ba mahal pa rin kita
At sana naman yakapin muli ako
Sorry kung hanggang ngayo'y nangungulit
Sabik lang sa iyong halik at yakap mo na kay higpit
Imposible ba itong aking hiling
Na sana'y makita ka muling nakangiti sa aking piling
Kay sakit isipin bigla mo na lang binawi'ng pagmamahal na inalay sa akin
Sana, mahal, huwag mo akong pahirapan nang gan'to
Eto ako, ramdam mo ba mahal pa rin kita
At sana naman yakapin muli ako
Sana, mahal, huwag mo akong pahirapan nang gan'to
Eto ako, ramdam mo ba mahal pa rin kita
At sana naman yakapin muli ako
Tuwing ika'y nakikita, ako'y nawawala
Na para bang ako'y naglalakad sa ulap
Pati sa pagtulog ko, ikaw ang hanap
Hanggang sa panaginip ko, hanggang umaga
Sana, ikaw na nga.sana...
(Ikaw na lang... kasama)
Pag ika'y lalapit na, ako'y tulala
Na para bang ako'y natutunaw sa hiya
Kislap ng yong mga mata, ako'y nasisilaw
Walang ibang gustong makita.
Hinahanap-hanap ka, pag ika'y nawawala
Kay raming love song na ang naisulat
Iba't iba ang istorya
Iba't ibang pamagat
Ngunit, ibahin mo ang mga awitin na ito
Meron na bang kanta naisulat
Para lang sayo
Sana ngayon
Ika'y nakikinig
Laman ka ng bawat himig
Sana ngayon (sana ngayon)
Angkinin ang awit ko
Isang wagas na pagibig
Pinagsama-samang ala-ala
Kapag tayo at nasawi
Bumangon, natuto, nagwagi
Kaya, ibahin mo ang mga awitin na ito
Dahil lahat ng aking naisulat
Ay tungkol sayo
Sana ngayon
Ika'y nakikinig
Laman ka ng bawat himig
Sana ngayon (sana ngayon)
Angkinin ang awit ko
Isang wagas na pagibig
Sana ngayon
Ika'y nakikinig
Laman ka ng bawat himig
Sana ngayon (sana ngayon)
Angkinin ang awit ko
Isang wagas na pagibig
Sana ngayon
Angkinin ang awit ko
