About the Book
¡Adiós, Patria adorada, región del sol querida,
Perla del mar de oriente, nuestro perdido Edén!
A darte voy alegre la triste mustia vida,
Y fuera más brillante, más fresca, más florida,
También por ti la diera, la diera por tu bien.
Paalam, sinta kong Lupang Tinubuan
Bayang sinagana ng sikat ng araw
Marikit na mutya ng dagat silangan
Edeng maligayang sa ami'y pumanaw.
Sa iyo'y handog ko ng ganap na tuwa
Malungkot kong buhay na lanta at abâ
Naging dakila man, boong pagnanasang
Ihahandog ko rin sa iyong paglaya.
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd,
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest,
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost.
