'Samo't Saring Iisa': 125 years of democracy

'NGUNIT kahit may samu't saring sari-sariling pinaniniwalaan / Ngunit kahit may samu't saring lengguwaheng hindi ko na naiintindihan / Tayo ay iisa sa puso't diwa / Hinding-hindi magigiba / Taas noo kahit kanino / Ang lahi ko ay Pilipino-oh-oh / Halina't kilalanin ang lahing 'di paaapi 'nino man / Binabagyo man lagi / Magsisimulang muli/Kay sayang isipin na / Patungo tayo sa kaunlaran / Kahit samu't sari ay mananatiling iisa / Iisa.'

(But even if each one of us has different beliefs / But even if each one of us has different languages I cannot all comprehend / We are one in heart and soul / We shall never fall / Heads raised high with everyone / My race is Filipino / Come let us learn more about the race that will never surrender / Amidst the many storms / Will rise up again / It is great to think about / Our road to progress ahead / Even if we are all different we will remain as one.)
