O Matas A Banua
'Niang misan a bengi, iquit dacang quiquiac
Menalbe cang cine macaternong rosas
Sinabi cu queca lacbang cang banayad
Pequibat mu cacu, pequibat mu cacu pangisnawang saldac.
Canita ing lulam selicut no't ticpan
Detang marcang batwin ampong marcang bulan
Biglang sinalisi malacas a uran
Pinaid ning angin, pinaid ning angin banda qng aslagan.
Queca que patuncul ing matas a banua
Tungi co reng batwin, pacuintas co queca
Pisian que itang bulan, gawan queng corona
Iputung que queca, iputung que queca malagung dalaga!
Gawa racang duyan qng bigang maputi
Ing gawan cung tali itang pinanari
At pabante raca caretang bayani
Jose Abad Santos at Ninoy Aquino
Lahi lang comangui!
Meaning:
The high praises is addressed to a beautiful lady being courted by the man. He said he is going to get the stars in heaven to make a necklace for her and snare the moon from the sky so he could put it in her crown.
