Verse 1:
Mother country, don’t be so sad
Your siblings are here, launching a fight
All difficulties, we will survive
We’re willing to give even our lives
Verse 2:
Mother country, please don’t cry
If in your siblings someone will die
Maraming nagbabangong kapalit na kawal
Muog na bakal ang siyang kapantay

Kasamaý hawakan mga kapatid
Pawiin ang luha ng Inang may hapis
Dangal na niyurakaý ating itindig
Kalayaaý angkinin (2x)
(ulitin ang refrain)

Ang ating kilusan, ng itoý itatag
Layunin nitoý iwaksi ang paghamak
Ang bayang lumalaban, ngayoý lumalakas

Her freedom, we have to take

For the liberation of the oppressed
The People’s fighters are gaining strength
To overthrow the greedy ruling exploiters
