Official Filipino lyrics

Lupang sintang kinagisnan,

Pilipinas kong mahal. Dibdib at puso ko’y alay, Pilipinas kong mahal Ang dagat at dalatan mo’y nag-uutos upang ikaw ay lagi kong paglingkuran, Pilipinas kong mahal

Ang bayan ko'y tanging ikaw, Pilipinas kong mahal. Ang puso ko at buhay man, sa iyo'y ibibigay. Tungkulin ko’y gagampanan, na lagi kang paglingkuran. Ang laya mo'y babantayan, Pilipinas kong hirang.

Bayan sa silanga’y hiyas, Pilipinas kong mahal. Kami’y iyo hanggang wakas, Pilipinas kong mahal. Mga ninuno naming lahat, sa iyo’y naglingkod ng tapat. Ligaya mo’y aming hangad,

Pilipinas kong mahal.

Unofficial English lyrics

You are my only country,

my beloved Philippines. My heart and even my life, to you I shall give. The duty I shall fulfill, is to always serve you; to guard your freedom,

my chosen Philippines.

gollark: Anyway, I got it working, by running a cable to the other side.
gollark: I'm using resonant and signalum fluxducts, because DE is evil.
gollark: This is weird. I'm supplying enough power for all 96 electromagnets but some of them are flashing on and off.
gollark: Definitely 96.
gollark: Nope.
