Nung iting balen a kekatamung tibwan
Literal yang Indu at pengari ta’ngan,
E kaya maplas king keyang pilubluban
Ing itamu mismu ing mipapatayan?
Pasari namu pin ning ideolohiya
At ning e parehung kaniwalan na
Ning wali, salungat king buri ning koya,
Partikular inggil king kulturang mana?
Obat e lugud ing karing pusu tamu
Ing pakasesen at gambulan masolu,
Kesa ing ipunla busal ning salu mu
Dapat a e mayap king kaparang tau?
Kaugne ning isyu a kakung abuklat
Atin kung alele kanita sinulat,
Pabusten yung iting penikua tang ‘award’
King “World Congress of Poets” kanita king Clark
Ya pamung palwal mi kaugne ning paksang
Makarikil karing alus e mabilang
A sundalus ampon pulis a mitimbwang
Karin king labuad na ning Kamindanawan
A kanakung pemansagan “Give Peace a Chance
in Mindanao” bilang puge at parangal
Karing ‘Fallen 44’ tang kapulisan
King Mamasapano – ning mesabing lugal.
PHILIPPINES, dear Philippines
Land of my brethren Christian, Muslims;
In thy heart with fervor burning
Thee do, our souls kept adoring.
Philippines, land to us dearest
How sweet to lie in thy embrace;
But when thou art wronged by invaders,
Death is heaven for all thy dear sake.
For us thy sons, brethren by blood
Where love partakes with joy and light
Against brother by faith in God,
And of culture, bloodshed is right?
Brother to brethren, we fought
Life is being wasted at no worth
But for nothing – and what it brought
Certainly, unrest comes to worst.
Should we let these always happened
To our own loving brethren?
And see Motherland cries in pain
Grieving over sons’ bitter end?
Let us give peace a better chance
To stay deep in our hearts and hands
But shall never see vile tyrants
Darken thy stars and sun’s brilliance.
And being sovereign country
That preserves peace and liberty,
Thy banner that for victory
Raise it aloft – at stains free.
Up, in thy bright skies of blue
Don’t let a cloud strikes anew,
With all our might – then we have to
Be another unsung hero!
