Anak habi ito sa mga gunita
Ng bayang nagmithing ganap na lumaya
Narito’t hinimay ang hibla’t tinina
Sa pawis at dugo ng mga nilikha

Haplusing banayad ang kinis ng rabaw

Baka mahipo mo ang luha ng inang
Iladlad sa simoy at halik ng araw
Upang rumikit pa ang tatak at kulay

Huwag mabalisa sa banyagang bahid
Pinagtitibay niyan ang taal na sulid
