This is my attempt at the Philippine National Anthem, "Lupang Hinirang". Please bare in mind that although I am Filipino, I am not fluent in Tagalog. So for you who are fluent, I mean no disrespect if anything sounds a little off. I hope I will have the chance to learn my native tongue someday.
(English Translation)
Beloved country,
Pearl of the Orient,
The burning [fervour] of the heart
In thy chest beats ever alive.
Chosen Land,
Thou art the cradle of the brave.
To the conquerors,
Thou shall never surrender.
In the seas and mountains,
In the air and in the azure sky,
There is splendour in the poem
And [in the] song for freedom beloved.
The sparkle of thy flag
Is victory that shines.
Its stars and sun
Forever shall never dim.
Land of the sun, of glory and our love,
Life is heaven in thy embrace;
It is our joy, when there are oppressors,
To die because of thee.
