Phillipines National Anthem
Listen to the National Anthem

Land of the morning
Child of the sun returning
With fervour burning
Thee do our souls adore.

Land dear and holy
Cradle of noble heroes
Ne'er shall invaders
Trample thy sacred shore.

Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds
And o'er thy hills and sea,
Do we behold the radiance
Feel the throb Of glorious liberty.

Thy banner dear to all our hearts
Its sun and stars alight.
O never shall its shining rays
Be dimmed by tyrants' might.

Beautiful land of love,
O land of light,
In thine embrace
'tis rapture to lie.

But it is glory ever
when thou art wronged
For us, thy sons,
to suffer and die.
(repeat first two stanzas)
