LUPANG HINIRANG(Philippine National Anthem)

Bayang magiliwPerlas ng silangananAlab ng pusoSa dibdib mo’y buhay

Lupang hinirangDuyan ka ng magitingsa manlulupigDi ka pasisiil

Sa dagat at bundokSa simoy at sa langit mong bughawMay dilag ang tulaAt awit sa paglayang minamahal

Ang kilsap ng watawat mo’yTagumpay na nagnininginAng bituin at araw niyaKailan pa ma’y di magdidilim

Lupa ng arawNg luwalhati’t pagsintaBuhay ay langit sa piling moAming ligaya na pag may mang-aapiAng mamatay ng dahil sa iyo

On a cloudless night, one can look up into the heavens and find the skybeautifully studded with brilliantly twinkling stars. On that part of the sky, whereone sees three stars lined together, these, it is said, are the three sisters and not sofar away is a lone star, brighter and bigger, which is the Star Maiden.

Tagumpay Nating Lahat

Ako’y anak ng lupang hinirangKung saan matagpuanAng timias ng perlas ng SilanganNagniningning sa buong kapuluan

Taglay ko ang hiwaga ng SilanganAt saan mang bayan o lungsodMaging Timog, Hilaga at KanluranAng Pilipino ay namumukod

Refrain:Sama-sama nating abutinPinakamatayog na bituinAt ang aking tagumpayTagumpay ng ating lahiTagumpay ng ating lipiAng tanging minimithi athinahangadHangad ko’y tagumpay nating lahat

Ako ay may isang munting pangarapSa aking dakilang lupainAt sa sama-sama nating pagsisikapSama-sama ring marating

Ang iba’t ibang galawIisang patutunguhanDito isang araw, isang Kapuluan

Our Triumph

I am a child of ths beloved landWhere the pearl of the orient can be foundShining throughout the land.

I hold the mystery of the eastAnd whichever city or nationSouth, north and westStands the Filipino, unique among all others.

Refrain:Together let us reach for the highest starMy success is that of my race and my peopleThe only thing i hope and long forIs our triumph

I have a small dream for my great countryIf we strive togetherTogether we will reach it.

Our diffrent strengths will move usTowards one goalOne day in this land.

MARAMING SALAMAT
