THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL ANTHEM

Bayang magiliw,
Perlas ng Silanganan
Alab ng puso,
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay.		 Land of the morning,
Child of the sun returning,
With fervor burning
Thee do our souls adore.
Lupang hinirang,
Duyan ka ng magiting
Sa manlulupig,
Di ka pasisiil. 		Land dear and holy,
cradle of noble heroes
Ne'er shall invaders,
trample thy sacred shores.
Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw
May dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y tagumpay na nadniningning
Ang bituin at araw niy'y klailan pa may di magdidilim

Ever within thy skies and though thy clouds
And o'er thy hills and seas
Do we behold the radiance, feel the throb
of glorious liberty.
Thy banner, dear to our hearts
It's sun and stars alight,
O never shall it's shining field
Be dimmed by tryant's might!
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsint
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
Aming lingaya, na pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.		 Beautiful of love O land light
In thine embrage rapture to lie
When thou art wronged
For us thy sons suffer and die.
