Kundiman 
     (English Version)

Truly hushed today

Are my tongue and heart

Harm is discerned by love

And joy flies away,

'Cause the Country was

Vanquished and did yield

Through the negligence

Of the one who led.

But the sun will return to dawn;

In spite of everything

Subdued people

Will be liberated;

The Filipino name

Will return perhaps

And again become

In vogue in the world.

We shall shed

Blood and it shall flood

Only to emancipate

The native land;

While the designated time

Does not come,

Love will rest

And anxiety will sleep.

Kundiman
(Tagalog Version)
Tunay ngayong umid yaring dila't puso
Sinta'y umiilag, tuwa'y lumalayo,
Bayan palibhasa'y lupig at sumusuko
Sa kapabayaan ng nagturong puno.

Datapuwa't muling sisikat ang araw,
Pilit maliligtas ang inaping bayan,
Magbabalik mandin at muling iiral
Ang ngalang Tagalog sa sandaigdigan.

Ibubuhos namin ang dugo't babaha
Matubos nga lamang ang sa amang lupa
Habang di ninilang panahong tadhana,
Sinta'y tatahimik, iidlip ang nasa.
