Wikipedia

Lyricist of Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas (Philippine National Anthem)

Filipinas Tierra adorada, hija del sol de Oriente, su fuego ardiente en ti latiendo está.

Tierra de amores, del heroísmo cuna, los invasores no te hollarán jamás.

En tu azul cielo, en tus auras, en tus montes y en tu mar esplende y late el poema de tu amada libertad.

Tu pabellón que en las lides la victoria iluminó, no verá nunca apagados sus estrellas ni su sol.

Tierra de dichas, de sol y amores en tu regazo dulce es vivir; es una gloria para tus hijos, cuando te ofenden, por ti morir.
