Yes, it has been four hundred years
when first those pale skinned men with swords
beheld this pristine land so dear
and walked on it as kings and lords.
But did not our forefathers with
inferior puny bamboo spears
die to repel these ravagers
who came to steal and instill fear.
I shall today with words and pen
rise forth to dispute their desires.
Let Life assist me,
Love unfold
to burn them with undying fire.
I will not cease this war, this fight
Nor will my resolve become thin.
Until the change has come to sight
to free my blessed Philippines.
