This National Anthem Rocks!

[Ron]

Aside from the Canadian & American National Anthems, the Philippine National Anthem is great!

Here are the words in both Tagalog & English

Lupang Hinirang[

Bayang magiliw,
Perlas ng Silangan,
Alab ng puso,
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay.

Lupang Hinirang,
Duyan ka ng magiting,
Sa manlulupig,
Di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning;
Ang bituin at araw niya,
Kailan pa may di magdidilim.

Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
Aming ligaya, na pag ma'y mang-aapi,
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.


Beloved Country

Beloved country,
Pearl of the Orient,
The heart's fervor,
In your bosom is ever alive.

Chosen Land,
You are the cradle of the brave,
To the conquerors,
You shall never surrender.

Through the seas and mountains,
Through the air and your azure skies,
There is splendor in the poem
And songs of beloved freedom.

The sparkle of your flag
Is shining victory.
Its stars and sun
Forever will never dim.

Land of glory, the sun of our affections,
Life is heaven in your arms;
When someone oppresses you, it is our pleasure
To die for you.

Nice!
