"Kundiman"

by José Rizal

(English version of "Kundiman" translated by Nick Joaquin)

Now mute indeed are tongue and heart:
love shies away, joy stands apart.
Neglected by its leaders and defeated,
the country was subdued and it submitted.

"My Last Farewell"

by Dr. José Rizal

(English version of "Mi Ultimo Adiós")

Farewell, my adored Land, region of the sun caressed,
Pearl of the Orient Sea, our Eden lost,
With gladness I give you my Life, sad and repressed;

"Philippines, My Philippines"

(English version)

I love my own, my native land,
Philippines, my Philippines;
To thee I give my heart and hands,
Philippines, my Philippines.

"Atin Cu Pung Singsing"

(English version)

I once had a ring
With a beautiful gem
I inherited this
From my mother
I stored it as well as I could
In a hopebox
