Government / The National Anthem

English version

Land of the morning,

Child of the sun returning,

With fervor burning,

Thee do our sould adore,

Land dear and holy,

Cradle of noble heroes,

Ne'er shall invaders

Trample thy sacred shore.

Ever within thy skies and thro' thy clouds

And o'er thy hills and seas,

Do we behold the radiance, fell the throb,

Of glorious liberty.

Thy banner, dear to all our hearts,

It's 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 is is glory ever, when thou art wronged,

For us, thy sons, to suffer and die.

Pambansang Awit - Tagalog version

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 mang-aapi,

Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo.

And it's not Viagra that I credit for this success, though I did use Viagra for several years. But testosterone-driven erections are far superior to Viagra-engineered erections.
