    TO MY FELLOW CHILDREN
    Whenever people of a country truly love
    The language, which by heaven they were taught to use
    That country also surely liberty pursue
    As does the bird which soars to freer space above.

    For language is the final judge and referee


    Upon the people in the land where it holds sway;
    In truth our human race resembles this way
    The other living beings born in liberty.
    Whoever knows not how to love his native tongue
    Is worse than any beast or evil smelling fish.
    To make our language richer ought to be our wish
    The same as any mother loves to feed her young.

    Tagalog and the Latin language are the same


    And English and Castilian and the angel’s tongue;
    And God, whose watchful care o’er all is flung,
    Has given us His blessing in the speech we claim.

    Our mother tongue, like all the highest that we know


    Had alphabet and letters of its very own;
    But these were lost – by furious waves were overthrown
    Like bancas in the stormy sea, long years ago.
