He is a man that has a lot to say
He complains about everything every single day
Lazy, so often he is called
He just waits for his future to unfold
He has a time of his own
Far from the time that is well-known
Colonial mentality, he has that too
Probably because he wants something new
Although he may look very bold
His integrity is easily sold
Pride, graft, and corruption
This triad is the usual reason
In her home she receives
In God’s words she believes
She kisses all her elders’ hands
Even in crisis she still stands
She fights for her people’s sovereignty
She hopes for her country’s peace and serenity
All of her hard work makes her merry
She doesn’t care if she becomes weary
She knows the concept of bayanihan
She helps everyone in the scourging sun
For others she has done a lot
Repayment and glory, she expects not
Black were their eyes and hair dyed
Their skin so brown they cannot hide
Flat-nosed and short they may be
Their big smiles are a view to see
In spite of years’ colonization
That changed the appearance of the nation
The Filipino blood runs in their veins
The love for their country still remains.
