Ang Mahalaga [English translation]

Peace, is not just quietness

Serenity, is not just calm

Every morning, we have this promise (1)

For Food, when we're hungry

We've got our soil to till

And grow our dreams

That's what matters

That's what matters

A home is not just a house

(But) a family united as one

Through good and bad times

A secure workplace

Modest abundance, a sufficient income

Day after day

That's what matters

That's what matters

Sincere love, honest giving

Will soon be returned

Just one word, faithful to the promise

That's what matters, this is true

A home is not just a house

(But) a family united as one

through good and bad times

A secure workplace

And land to till and cultivate

With many dreams

That's what matters

That's what matters

Yes, it is true

Yes, it is true
