East sea's precious pearl where our Eden lost! With delight I surrender my faded life's best, Even it was happier and blessed I will do the same and never blame.
Vision of my breath, living and fiery
crave All hail! soul whimpers who wants a flight; All hail! For nice things will disappeared, To expire for your good, that thou mystic aspire, And slumbered in infinity.
On the arena of struggles in middle of
raging light, Brave hearts given their lives without uncertainty, The place weigh not -- cypress or laurel or lily white, Scaffold or open land, battle or martyrdom's predicaments To render service to our nation and its necessity
Over my tomb a seed grow,
A submissive flower in a meadow, Drag it to my lips and kiss my soul so, Below my cold ossuary I felt The fragile touch and thy breath so warm
I expire just when I witness the smiling
of the sun Through the darkening of night, to foretell the day; If the color is lack of life, pour my blood Flow thy blood in the benefit of my dear, Pigmented with it the crimson the crack dawn's ray.
Let the moon gleam above me silently
and tender, Let the dawn shine over me its dazzling flares, Let the gloomy wind pass over me, And if above my cross a bird could be observed, Let it chants its hymn of tranquility of my remains.
My visions, when reality stroke me
first, My visions, when aspiration of a juvenile flew high, Were to spot thy lovely face, a jewel of the Orient sea, From sadness and mourn, from tenderness and not distressed; No blush on thy eyebrow, no crystal liquid in your eyes.
Let the sun drag vapors up above the
sky, Purity in overdue protest bear toward heaven; Let some considerate spirit o'er my mistimed fortune sigh, A prayer may carry up in a steady night From thee, O my country, I may rest on our Creator.
Pray for those doomed that have
perish, Those suffered injustice agony, For our mother who cries on miseries and misfortunes, For widows and orphans, for abductees endured sufferings; And for thyself absolution that may receive.
As I pass over valleys and plains;
Tremble and purified in thy time, Muddle through color and light, with song and jeremiad Every continuous faith that I treasured.
When the gloomy night surrounds the
boneyard, With the only body remains can see; Don't disturb my tranquility or mystery profound, Perhaps you may overhear a glum hymn echoed, Oh my nation! I chanting a song to thee.
My beloved Fatherland, lends
loneliness to my anguish, Dearest Filipinas, perceive my last bid of goodbye! My parents, allied and peers I give all to you, I go to the place where no dictator rules, Where faith will live forever and God regnants.
When my tomb is neglected,
Unseen mark or cross, Hurtle it and let stumble in the ground, That my residue covered the earthy soil, Before it lost its importance at least they were blown
Adios to all of you, from my ripped
soul, Childhood friends of mine in their deprived nest! Back-tiring days are over, I came to rest! Sweet friend who lift my burden in the way, farewell; Creatures so adorable farewell! In heaven there is peace.
