Bayan Ko

Dear Kababayans,

With the sad things that are happening right now in our beloved Filipinas, please reflect for a moment and listen to Kuh Ledesma's renditon of "Bayan Ko." Click the link below.

The great Filipino painter Fernando Amorsolo's priceless paintings of what it was like in the Philippines when it was still called the "Pearl of the Orient Seas" are shown in the background while Kuh is singing.

I want to thank Dan Orosa for forwarding this beautiful video presentation.

Best,
Perry
Enjoy this version with Amorsolo's paintings in the background.. .



BAYAN KO
Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak
Pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag.
At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlak sa dusa.

Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag
Ang di magnasang makaalpas!
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko't dalita
Aking adhika,
Makita kang sakdal laya.
