KUNDIMAN
Tunay ngayong umid yaring dila't puso
Sinta'y umiilag, tuwa'y lumalayo,
Bayan palibhasa'y lupig at sumuko
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.

KUNDIMAN
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.

Ang Pasyon ni Hesukristo
Ito ay mga piling saknong (stanza) sa Pasyon.
Ang Paglalang ng Panginoong Diyos Nitong Buong Mundo
Ang lupa't sampu ng Langit
hangin at ang himpapawid,
hayop, isdang nasa tubig,
Taong hamak na bulisik
May karamdaman at bait.
Ano pa't ang balang bagay
na di nating natitingnan,
dapt sampalatayanan,
na ang isang Diyos lamang
ang may gawa at may lalang.
Dili iba't Siya nga,
lubos na may manukala
ng gawang hindi makala;
kusa Niyang inadhika
sa taong hamak na lupa.
Kaya ngayon ay ang dapat
tayo'd maniwala't sulat
sa Santisima Trinidad;
tatlo sa pagla-Personas
iisang Diyos na wagas.
Ito ring Diyos na may tunay
walang punong pinagmulan,
wala namang katapusan;
ganap nakapangyharihan,
ganda;t kaluwalhatian.

MEMORIES OF MY TOWN by JOSE RIZAL
MEMORIES OF MY TOWN is the English translation of the poem of JOSE RIZAL,UN RECUERDO MI PUEBLO, which can be found in this page and the Tagalog version in this page.
MEMORIES OF MY TOWN
When I recall the days
That saw my childhood of yore
Beside the verdant shore
Of a murmuring lagoon;
When I remember the sighs
Of the breeze that on my brow
Sweet and caressing did blow
With coolness full of delight;
When I look at the lily white
Fills up with air violent
And the stormy element
On the sand doth meekly sleep;
When sweet 'toxicating scent
From the flowers I inhale
Which at the dawn they exhale
When at us it begins to peep;
I sadly recall your face,
Oh precious infancy,
That a mother lovingly
Did succeed to embellish.
I remember a simple town;
My cradle, joy and boon,
Beside the cool lagoon
The seat of all my wish.
Oh, yes! With uncertain pace
I trod your forest lands,
And on your river banks
A pleasant fun I found;
At your rustic temple I prayed
With a little boy's simple faith
And your aura's flawless breath
Filled my heart with joy profound.
Saw I God in the grandeur
Of your woods which for centuries stand;
Never did I understand
In your bosom what sorrows were;
While I gazed on your azure sky
Neither love nor tenderness
Failed me, 'cause my hapiness
In the heart of nature rests there.
Tender childhood, beautiful town,
Rich fountain of hapiness,
Of harmonious melodies,
That drive away my sorrow!
Return thee to my heart,
Bring back my gentle hours
As do the birds when the flow'rs
Would again begin to blow !
But, alas, adieu! E'er watch
For your peace, joy and repose,
Genius of good who kindly dispose
Of his blessings with amour;
It's for thee my fervent pray'rs,
It's for thee my constant desire
Knowledge ever to acquire
And may God keep your candour!
