Land of the morning Julian Felipe University of Southern Mindanao Child of the sun returning Kabacan, Cotabato With fervor burning Thee do our souls adore. Bayang Magiliw Perlas ng silanganan Alab ng puso Land dear and holy, Sa dibdib mo’y buhay Cradle of noble heroes LADY LIE D. ARMADA Ne’er shall invaders Lupang Hinirang Trample thy sacred shores. Duyan ka nang magiting Sa manlulupig Di ka pasisiil Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds Sa Dagat at bundok sa simoy And o’er thy hills and seas; Do we behold thy radiance, feel the throb At sa langit mo’y bughaw Of glorious liberty. May dilag ang tula At awit sa paglayang minamahal Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y tagumpay Thy banner dear to all hearts na nagniningning Its sun and stars alright, Ang bituin at araw niya’y kailanpama’y di Oh, never shall its shining fields magdidilim Be dimmed by tyrants might Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati’t pagsinta Beautiful land of love, oh land of light, buhay ay langit sa piling mo. In thine embrace ‘tis rapture to lie; Aming ligaya nang pag may mang-aapi But it is glory ever when thou art wronged Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo. For us thy sons to suffer and die
