Ultimo adios

adios patria adorada
region del sol querida
perla del mar de oriente
nuestro perdido eden
sa 'yo ‘tong aking buhay
puno ng kalungkutan
nguni’t kung maging mas brillante
mas fresca, mas florida
sa ‘yo pa rin iaalay
sa ‘yong kapakanan

sa parang ng digmaan
luchando con delirio
kay rami nang nag-alay
walang pagdadal’wa
saan man ay di importante
sa cipres, laurel o lirio
bitayan o kabukiran
combate o cruel martirio
ito ay iisa lamang
sa bayang sinilangan

ang aking kamataya’y
sabay ng mga kulay ng langit
sa umagang papawi sa gabi
at kung saka-sakaling
pula’y kailanganin
aking dugo’y gamitin
sa tamang panahon
y dorela un reflejo
de su nasciente luz

mi patria idolatrada
dolor de mis dolores
querida Filipinas
paalam ko’y dinggin
ako ngayo’y patungo
mis padres mis amores
kung saan walang alipin
verdugos ni opresores
donde la fe no mata
kung saan naghahari ang diyos

adios padres y hermanos
bahagi ng aking puso
paalam mga kababata
sa ‘ting tahanang sawi
salamat at lilisanin
araw ng suliranin
adios dulce extranjera
mi amiga, aking ligaya
adios mga ginigiliw
ako ay hihimlay

translation:

farewell beloved fatherland
beloved of the sun
pearl of orient sea
our lost eden
my life is yours
drenched in sadness
but if it were brighter
more vibrant, more in bloom
still, it would be yours
for your enrichment

in delirious battlefields
so many have given their lives
no second thoughts
no doubts
the setting is of no import
among cypress, laurels or lilies
gallows or meadows
in combat, in martyrdom
all these are the same
to the land of birth

my death
is heralded by the colors
of the morning come to relieve the night
if by chance
more red be needed
use my blood
at the right time
and bless it with a reflection
of your native light

fatherland I adore
saddest of my sadnesses
beloved Pilipinas
hear my farewell
I am off
dear ones
to where there are no slaves
executioners or oppressors
where faith does not kill
where only god is king

farewell all relations
shards of my spirit
so long dear playmates
in our shattered home
give thanks for I leave
this troubled day
farewell sweet stranger
my friend, my ecstasy
farewell my loved one
it is my time to rest
