Again courtesy of ReynaHelena Lapu, who's really very eager to share with us the culture and history of her native country, here's the national anthem, with an english translation. You can find also the spanish translation here.
Lupang Hinirang
Bayang magiliw, perlas ng silanganan Alab ng puso, sa dibdib mo'y buhay. Lupang hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting, Sa manlulupig di ka pasisiil.
Sa dagat at bundok, Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw, May dilag ang tula At awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y Tagumpay na nagniningning; Ang bituin at araw niya Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim.
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta, Buhay ay langit sa piling mo; Aming ligaya na pag may nang-aapi Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.
--------
Heres the English version
Beloved Land
Land of the morning, child of the sun returning, with fervor burning, thee do our souls adore. Land dear and holy, cradle of noble heroes, Ne'er shall invaders trample thy sacred shore.
Even within thy skies and through thy clouds and o'er thy hills and sea do we behold the radiance, feel the throb of glorious liberty.
Thy banner, dear to all our hearts, its sun and stars alight. O, never shall its shining field be dimmed by tyrant's might!
Beautiful land of love, O land of light, in thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie. But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged, for us, thy sons, to suffer and die.
Written By:Camilo Osias and A.L.Lane
