There are lots that makes me smile,
like dogs and cats or other stuff.
Having it as a list, surely, it'll  be in pile,
some I smile only because I have to, some I smile then laugh.

Like good arts and music,
great literary pieces that I enjoy,
or for all one knows, maybe an interesting topic,
who knows, anything can be a joy.

Like when you force yourself to be happy,
it could be goodbyes that should end plain.
Perhaps, pretending to show gaiety or felicity,
that's when we smile in struggle and pain.

Smiles are diverse.
We smile in satisfaction and glee.
We smile in affliction and agony.
Sometimes, its caused by the best feeling, every so often, by the worst.

A little glimpse of you,
a little glance of beauty.
Those eyes that never sees blue,
looking at you, you're pretty.

As you move swiftly,
these eyes only landed at you.
Those laughs that were quirky,
you're just too good to be true.

Gaining my courage,
breathing heavily.
Never will I be discouraged,
so let's take this slowly.

A little glimpse from you,
a little glance I cherish once in a while.
Those eyes that gives hue,
looking at you, I smile.

I'll keep remembering you,
even when this love gets ill.
I'll keep holding you,
when no one else will.

When the stars continually shine upon us,
these eyes will only look at you still.
I will keep this trust,
when no one else will.

I'll keep longing and waiting,
even if I become numb and couldn't feel.
For you, I will keep on seeking,
when no one else will.

So this I ask for you,
let's keep this true and real.
I'll keep loving you,
when no one else will.

Justice, when will you seek this land?
Infuriated and filled with rage and flame.  
Nation, do you demand?
Neglecting our own and true name.
Education, how will we stand?
Aggravated with ignorance and fame.

And when must our country be at our hand?

Justice, you shall always acclaim.
Oath taken by people whom hands are to blame
Stripped and deprived of our own sea and sand.
Eager, I am, to save our crown land.

kung walang tatayo para sa bayan, sino?
ikaw na takot at naniniwala sa kuro-kuro?
ikaw na sanay na sa sistemang pabago-bago?
kung hindi tayo lalaban, sino?

sino bang dapat lumaban at makiaklas?
sino bang nandyan hanggang bukas?
sino bang nais humamon upang maging patas?
sino ba dapat ang kailangang tinitingala at tinitingnan sa itaas?

hindi ba't ikaw ang dapat gumawa ng paraan?
hindi ba't ikaw na mamamayan?
hindi ba't ikaw na Pilipino sa dugo at laman?
hindi ba't ikaw na anak ng bayan?

sa bawat siglong dadaan ay nanatili ang rebolusyon,
ang tanging kailangan ay pagmamahal sa nasyon.
mga aksyon natin dapat iayon,
kaya lumaban ka para sa sarili, sa bayan at sa susunod na henerasyon.

himig ng 'yong boses tila sigaw ay kaligtasan
di makakaila sating tinginan
sa'yong mga mata'y nakikita ang hantungan
tayo lang ang tanging may kaalaman

kaya't ika'y hahanapin kahit saan
sa kabilang ibayo man o bayan
kahit saan ika'y susundan
'pagkat ikaw ang tanging tahanan

aking tatawagin kailanman
ang 'yong nagiisang pangalan
kahit alin man ang pagdaanan
ang mahalaga ay ika'y mahagkan

kaya't aking irog, aking kasintahan
ipapaalala sayo ang ating pagmamahalan
lahat para sayo ay aking ilalaan
pagkat ikaw ang tanging tahanan
