oh! sole of the orient sea,
the point of the
ages civilization brings
holocaust to the Lupang Hinirang;
cease the day of the Scarborough shoal
and vengeance will rise
the fire is in the move
and the ship
carries its powder; the flag rightly
waves as the ocean floor awaits,
all have come as strangers
both have gone
too far, but Kalayaan Island tells
that the sun leaves near the land
of the Philippines sea
oh! come island of peace rich
its natural resource, ready as you wish
till as you grow and leave
all the sweat of fire in the sky
sweet comes no regret, sing the
melody of the sky and leave us free,
the fume is small and the fire is big
Respect...
