Ako ay Pilipino
I am Filipino
Ako ay Pilipino
The blood is royal
Ang dugo'y maharlika
Natural in my heart
Likas sa aking puso
Aspire to be beautiful
Adhikaing kay ganda
In the Philippines, my country
Sa Pilipinas na aking bayan
Fair Pearl of the East
Lantay na Perlas ng Silanganan
It seems that God's wealth has been gathered
Wari'y natipon ang kayamanan ng Maykapal
Give to your brain
Bigay sa 'king talino
Only for the good
Sa mabuti lang laan
To me it's native
Sa aki'y katutubo
To be loving
Ang maging mapagmahal
I am Filipino
Ako ay Pilipino
I am Filipino
Ako ay Pilipino
One country, one spirit
Isang bansa, isang diwa
What I dream of
Ang minimithi ko
In my country and flag
Sa bayan ko't bandila
My life and soul
Laan buhay ko't diwa
I am Filipino
