In our mother tongue, where our heritage resides,
The Filipino language, where culture abides,
Mysterious words and their sweet embrace,
Like rainbows in the sky, a vibrant grace
Through you, history's treasures unfold.
Epics, legends, poems, stories untold,
You traverse minds, expanding horizons wide.
In each letter's thread, emotions coincide.
Each rhyme and verse is a heartbeat dance.
Speaking of love's and joy's eternal expanse,
A voice that sings with passion and might
Filipino language, you bring life's delight.
Within you, the nation's aspirations take flight.
A sanctuary for weary hearts seeking respite,
In the face of the hardships and trials that surround
You're the guiding star, hope is abundantly found.
From Batanes to Tawi-Tawi's distant shores,
In every corner of our islands, your essence soars.
A blazing candle in the darkest of nights,
Dispelling doubts and fears, bringing respite.
In households, schools, and grand public places,
You embody unity, connecting diverse faces.
A legacy of heroes and ancestors enshrined
Intertwined in every lasting moment, we find
Filipino language, amidst life's stormy seas,
You give strength to wounded souls seeking ease.
Balm for the spirit, only you can provide
Proof that within our hearts, memories reside.
On each stride up history's staircase, we ascend,
You, as a witness, illuminating greatness, transcendent,
Filipino, a mirror of our cultural expression,
May your brilliance grow into a timeless possession.
