LUPANG HINIRANG: Chosen Land
BAYAN KO: Kuh Ledesma

BAYAN KO: Freddie Aguilar
BAYAN KO
Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng gintó't bulaklák.
Pag-ibig na sa kanyáng palad
Nag-alay ng gandá't dilág
At sa kanyáng yumi at gandá
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlák sa dusa
Ibon mang may layang lumipád
Kulungin mo at umiiyák
Bayan pa kayáng sakdál-dilág
Ang 'dî magnasang makáalpás
Pilipinas kong minumutyâ
Pugad ng luhà ko't dalitâ
Aking adhikâ
Makita kang sakdál laya!
MY COUNTRY
My country the Philippines
Land of gold and flowers
With love in her palms
She offers beauty and virtue.
And of her modesty and beauty
The foreigner was attracted
O, my country, you were enslaved
Mired in hardship.
Even birds that are free to fly
Cage them and they cry,
Much more a beautiful country
Shall long to be free.
Philippines my beloved,
Cradle of my tears and poverty
I'll aspire,
To see you truly free.

Freude, schöner Götterfunken
Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium!
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, Dein Heiligtum.
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
Was die Mode streng geteilt,
Alle Menschen werden Bröder,
Wo Dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
* * * * *
Joy, beautiful sparkle of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium!
We enter, fire-drunk,
Heavenly one, your shrine.
Your magic again binds
What custom has firmly parted.
All men become brothers
Where your tender wing lingers.

Tierra adorada
Hija del sol de Oriente,
Su fuego ardiente,
En ti latiendo está.
�Tierra de amores!
Del heroísmo cuna,
Los invasores
No te hollarán jamás.
En tu azul cielo, en tus auras,
En tus montes y en tu mar
Esplende y late el poema
De tu amada libertad.
Tu pabellón, que en las lides
La victoria iluminó,
No verá nunca apagados
Sus estrellas ni su sol.
Tierra de dichas, del sol y de amores,
En tu regazo dulce es vivir.
Es una gloria para tus hijos,
Cuando te ofenden, por ti morir.
'Filipinas' de Jose Palma, 1899
