Philippines, my one and only, Philippines
Where was I, a proud Filipina, was born patiently
Shining pearl that was colonized
, have suffered, and have looked down
at the other side , it have built a strong and proud people
Star-gazing at night you could see the shining proud pearl of the east
Never fades its glitters and spreads its light like the sun that glows inside your heart
Its warmth have always hugged me,
Makes me deserve how this shelter have kept me
Spaniards, who might you be?
One Filipina have stand up and shouted
Spaniards! It's them! It's them who have stained the lovely paradise
Saying...it was them who ruined us!
Us who are the pitiful ones!
Yes it is! Yes they were!
Great rulers have stored this place and ruined it as well
Men and women die without justice
Depression, desperation, Betrayal has come
Just to survive even it is a lie
Hunger and sadness spreads out everywhere
One life fades, hundreds tears are being shed
Still belongingness keeps on lifting up their souls
Philippines, you keep my hopes up!
Pours and drinks a small water
I have kept waiting for the bright sunrise
That will come and wake me up from this nightmare
On the other hand, I keep on dreaming them
I saw the colored rainbows
My soul kept comparing it to the stained pearl
My shadows kept hoping that it will shine again
For I know that it will, as long as our hope remain strong
I say, people of the east pearl stand up!
May you don't plead on them and defend the country
Meaningless battles soon will reach to its end
As we, people of this stained pearl, shall regain our unity for the lost paradise
I stared at the stained, endless, blue-white sky
And have breathe deeply as I can
I see and feel the never ending hope of my countrymen
Another day was born
As the sunlight kept on emitting its light
I'll never turn down my shelter
As I know my love for this will never end
