My country the Philippines
Land of gold and flowers
My love in Her palms
Offered beauty and splendor
And in Her grace and beauty
Foreigners are spellbound
O my country, You are captured
Plunged to suffering
Even a bird that freely flies
Once caged will cry
What more a country of extreme beauty
Yearns for freedom
Philippines my beloved
Nest of my tears and misery
All that I desire
Is to see Your freedom
Manila, O Manila
Feel the hope
Manila, O Manila
Raise this country
Philippines my beloved
Nest of my tears and misery
All that I desire
Is to see your freedom
