I believe that most of us is likewise can't able to sing our own national anthem without looking on the lyrics. Though, we can able to sing completely and correctly when singing together but the problem is when you are alone, can you make it?
Well, I have decided to post on this blog the comprehensive research that I found on the internet for us to be informed on how must be the correct lyrics and rhythm of singing the Philippine National Anthem.
According to Wikipedia, Lupang Hinirang is the national anthem of the Philippines. Its music was composed in 1898 by Julian Felipe, with lyrics in Spanish adapted from the poem Filipinas, written by José Palma in 1899. [more...]
Below is the Official lyrics, according to RA 8491. The lyrics date from 1956, with revisions in the 1960s.
- LUPANG HINIRANGBayang 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 'yo.
Below is the Unoficial English Translation. This translation is not intended to be sung, as the words do not correspond with the music. However, it is recommended for accurate translation of the current and only official Filipino version of the Philippine national anthem into other language editions of Wikipedia. In addition, this text differs from that of the Philippine Hymn of 1938, since the latter is a direct translation from the original Spanish version Filipinas.
- CHOOSEN LANDBeloved country,
Pearl of the Orient,
The burning [fervour] of the heart,
In thy chest is ever alive.Chosen Land,
Thou art the cradle of the brave.
To the conquerors,
Thou shall never surrender.
In the seas and mountains,
In the air and in thy sky of blue,
There is splendour in the poem
And [in the] song for freedom beloved.
The sparkle of thy flag
Is victory that shines.
Its stars and sun
Forever shall never dim.
Land of the sun, of glory and our affections,
Life is heaven in thy embrace;
It is our joy, when there are oppressors,
To die because of thee.
Singer/s who sang correctly:
Singer/s who sang differently (revival? hmmm...):
Singer/s who sang unaligned(?) :
Being PROUD FILIPINO, any where we are, any time will be... all Filipinoes are required and must know how to sing the "LUPANG HINIRANG".
