(Mass Recital from the work of Andres Bonifacio and Jose Corazon de Jesus)

"My country Philippines,
Land of gold and flowers,
Love in the palm of her hand,
Offering beauty and beauty."
Ahhh! Philippines...Philippines...that's my country.
Before the Spanish came, it was a paradise,
which our ancestors embraced
from Monday to Sunday.
"Which love is greater than that",
by Gat Andres Bonifacio in his poem.
"in purity and greatness",
who are youths who are false in spirit.
"like love for the motherland?"
where was i born In the land of the great.
"Which is more love? No more, nothing"
Of the forgotten youth.
"And with her soft and beautiful,
Foreigner was attracted,
My people, you were captured,
Fallen in suffering."
Hahahaha! It's nice to paddle in the water freely
so the foreigners were impressed by her beauty
of the Spaniards in my town he captured
to the mud immersed in suffering.
"Read the mind over and over again"
the language shared by our dreams
"and one by one try hard"
the litanies of chorus and song.
"the word and living print and letter"
from the wealth of the mired
"of a person it observes"
the friar's contempt
"Holy love when you are the worthy"
with the mind and intellect cultivated
"in the honest heart of anyone,"
mutual love makes the stomach growl.
"ambit forest people, poor and ignorant"
Indians, we are labeled
"becoming great and respected"
from the heritage of Rizal idol of the Katipunan.
"Even a bird that is free to fly,
cage it and cry,
It's still a perfect beauty,
The one that doesn't want to climb!"
Huhuhu! You, me, we all get bored
from the lines of the Spanish monarchy which are insidious
forcibly claimed our great wealth
but do not know how to fight.
"Praise is full of desire"
what we dreamed of in Spanish bangag
"in the town of the man of honor and caution,"
of our ancestors who cared faithfully.
"sing, rhyme, compose and write,"
those are the litany of the heroes who have awakened
"they also reveal a lot"
the love that is pure from the heart and opened.
"My country Philippines,
Land of gold and flowers,
Love in the palm of her hand,
Offering beauty and beauty."
"And with her soft and beautiful,
Foreigner was attracted,
My people, you were captured,
Fallen in suffering."
"Even a bird that is free to fly,
cage it and cry,
It's still a perfect beauty,
The one that doesn't want to climb!"
