I

We the Filipino Youth, Answers you today

With words of faithfulness and gay

We shall always stand in our resolve

And see to it that problems, solved!

II

We are the hope of our motherland,

We shall ever stand then hand in hand,

For we are the future of this country,

So we will stand tall and fight for thee

III

And in this world, we’ll not grow silent,

The world will awe with our sheer talent,

We will make our mother proud,

We’ll sing her anthem, high and loud!

IV

What beauty we shall ever find,

In knowledge stored within our mind,

That ever radiant hope so flourishing

With wisdom comes our reckoning

V

We will forever love our country,

And not replace it with dreadful money,

We’ll serve and protect with all our might

Do everything to set it right

VI

This country is your legacy

You fought and died for its supremacy

May God Almighty, up above,

To this country give his unfailing love.
