Original Tagalog lyrics by Jose Corazon de Jesus, melody by Constancio de Guzman. BAYAN KO

Lupain ng ginto’t bulaklak Pag-ibig na sa kanyang palad Nag-alay ng ganda’t dilag.
At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina Bayan ko, binihag ka Nasadlak sa dusa. Ibon mang may layang lumipad kulungin mo at umiiyak Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag Ang di magnasang makaalpas!
