ISABELA HYMN

Original English Version

Lyrics: AVELINA N. CABASAL Music: LUCIO SAN PEDRO

Isabela a home endeared by man upright and free

A land were peace and love abide where man of truth reside

Endowed with rich and glorious past

A heritage known and vast

From Palanan to Jones they stood

For freedom and for truth.

Her shining rivers teem with fish and mountain slush with trees

Her fertile fields abode with yields are blessings for our needs

Bless Isabela precious Lord!

And keep her in your fold

In unison we all proclaim

Her providential fame.

 LUPANG HINIRANG

Bayang 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 nang dahil sa iyo.

 Isabela March

Were Isabelan's true and loyal children

And we take pride in her great name
We're marching out to tell all men
Of our lovely province's fame
From old San Pablo to Cordon town
Mallig Plains to Palanan
Blest with bountiful wealth
Mental and body health
Other blessings from above
So come join this happy throng
Come Isabelan's, come
Sing and shout her glories won
And love her till years to come
Were Isabelan's true and loyal children
And we take pride in her great name
We're marching out to tell all men
Of our lovely province's fame
Our number swells as we march along
As it was in yesteryears
We're decided to make the heavens resound
With the echo of our cheers
So come, join this happy throng
Come Isabelan's, come
Sing and shout her glories won
And love her till years to come
Sing and shout her glories won
And love her till years to come
