Here the trees and flowers bloom Gallant men And Ladies fair Cebuanos, Ilocanos, Subanons, Boholanos, Ilongos,
Here the breezes gently Blow, Linger with love and care All of them are proud and true
Here the birds sing Merrily, Golden beams of sunrise and sunset Region IX our Eden Land
The liberty forever Stays, Are visions you’ll never forget
Oh! That’s Region IX Region IX
Our..
Here the Badjaos roam the seas Hardworking people Abound, Eden...
Here the Samals live in peace Every valleys and Dale Land...
Here the Tausogs thrive so free Zamboangueños, Tagalogs, Bicolanos,
With the Yakans in unity
My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.
On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Pray for all those that hapless have died,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight, For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need. And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain
I die just when I see the dawn break, And wh en the dark ni gh t wrap s the grav eyard around
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; W ith o nl y the dead in th ei r vigil to see
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, Bre ak not my rep ose o r the mystery prof ound
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake And perch an ce tho u mayst he ar a s ad hymn reso un d
To dye with its crimson the waking ray. 'T is I, O my co un try, rai si ng a son g unto th ee.
My dreams, when life first opened to me, And even my grav e is re membered no mo re
My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high, Unmark' d by neve r a c ross nor a s tone
Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea Le t th e pl ow s weep th ro ugh it, the spad e turn it o'er
From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free; Th at my ashes may carpe t earthl y flo or,
No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye. Before i nto n othi ngness at l as t th ey are blo wn .
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, The n wil l obl ivi on b ri ng to me no care
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; As ove r th y vales and plain s I s weep;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; Th robb in g and cle anse d in thy sp ace and ai r
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire; W ith co lo r and li gh t, wi th song and lame nt I fare,
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night. Eve r repeati ng the f ai th th at I keep.
If over my grave some day thou seest grow, M y Fathe rl an d ad or'd, that s adness to my sorro w lends
In the grassy sod, a humble flower, Belov ed Fil ip inas, hear now my last good -by!
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so, I give thee al l: p are nts and kind red and friends
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below For I go wh ere no slave before the opp ress or bends,
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power. Wh ere faith can neve r k il l, and God rei gns e'er on high !
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene, Farewel l to you all , from my so ul torn away,
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes, Fri ends of my chi ldho od i n the home dis possessed !
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ; G ive th an ks that I re st from th e weari so me day!
And if on my cross a bird should be seen, Farewel l to thee, too, s wee t friend that l ightened my way;
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes. Belov ed creature s al l, fare we ll ! In de ath the re is rest!
