Manado (pronounced [məˈnado][citation needed]) is the capital of the North Sulawesi province of Indonesia. Manado is located at the Bay of Manado, and is surrounded by a mountainous area. The city has about 405,715 inhabitants, making it the second-largest city in Sulawesi after Makassar. The municipality of Manado is divided into nine districts: Malalayang, Sario, Wanea, Tikala, Wenang, Mapanget, Singkil, Tuminting and Bunaken.
The name Manado comes from manadou or wanazou meaning "on the far coast" or "in the distance," and originally referred to the further of two islands which can be seen from the mainland. When the settlement on this island was relocated to the mainland, the name Manado was brought with it, after which the island itself became referred to as Manado Tua ("Old Manado").
The first mention of Manado comes from a world map by cartographer Nicolas Desliens, where it showed the island Manarow (today's Manado Tua). Before Europeans arrived to North Sulawesi the area was under the rule of the Sultan of Ternate, who exacted tribute and introduced the Muslim religion among some of its inhabitants. The Portuguese made the Sultan their vassal, taking possession of the Minahasa and established a factory in Wenang.
hoy te vi
tras la clara lluvia de la tarde gris
te vi llorar
ocultando penas y un dolor que no
son de tu edad
sin saber
tu alegria se perdio
como la noche y al despertar
buscaras el nuevo dia que traera felicidad
quiero ser
el amigo que recorre tu camino
que no importa la sorpresa del destino
dia y noche siempre estara junto a ti
quiero ser
ese sol con el que brillara la luna
ser el viento con el que borra la bruma
y vivir mis sueños siempre junto a ti
dime que si
olvidar toda pena que te empaña
tu sonrisa ven junto a mi
quiero ver brillar tus ojos
que dan luz a mi vivir
quiero ser
el amigo que recorre tu camino
que no importa la sorpresa del destino
dia y noche siempre estara junto a ti
quiero ser
ese sol con el que brillara la luna
ser el viento con el que borra la bruma
y vivir mis sueños siempre junto a ti
quiero ser
el amigo que recorre tu camino
que no importa la sorpresa del destino
dia y noche siempre estara junto a ti
quiero ser
