Pilipinas Kong Mahal
(Tagalog lyrics)
Ang bayan ko'y tanging ikaw
Pilipinas Kong Mahal
Ang puso ko at buhay man
Sa iyo'y ibibigay
Tungkulin kong gagampanan
Na lagi kang paglingkuran
Ang laya mo'y babantayan
Pilipinas kong Hirang.
Philippines My Philippines
(English Translation)
I Love my own, my native land
Philippines, my Philippines
To thee I give my heart and hand,
Philippines, my Philippines
The trees that crown thy mountains grand,
The seas that beat upon thy strand,
Awake my heart to thy command,
Philippines, my Philippines
