It is a pity that we Filipinos of today can't even understand our national hero's farewell without the help of a language that he himself barely spoken.

@muzaraque That is correct! Spain gave all the people of her provinces Spanish citizenship. When the Americans invaded they never considered giving the Filipinos an American citizenship despite forcing them to change their language from Spanish to English. It is unfortunate that most Filipinos do not know their history since most of it is written in Spanish.

Si el uso del castellano ha retrocedido en Filipinas, España ha dejado una herencia mejor que cuarenta años de ocupación yanqui no han conseguido borrar: las mestizas hispano-filipinas, poco abundantes pero por eso mismo más valiosas.
¡Bellísimas!
This beautiful and emotion-laden poem was written by Dr. Jose Rizal on the night before his execution at dawn of Dec. 30, 1896 as his last statement to the Filipino people.
Although the world moves on, this is posted in honor of his memory lest we as a nation forget what happened during those times of tyranny and oppression.
The Philippines was a colony of Spain for over 300 years; of the US for about 50 years; and for a few years each by the Japanese and the British.

My Last Farewell
Farewell, beloved Country, treasured region of the sun,
Pearl of the sea of the Orient, our lost Eden!
To you eagerly I surrender this sad and gloomy life;
And were it brighter, fresher, more florid,
Even then Id give it to you, for your sake alone.

In fields of battle, deliriously fighting,
Others give you their lives, without doubt, without regret;
The place matters not: where theres cypress, laurel or lily,
On a plank or open field, in combat or cruel martyrdom,
Its all the same if the home or country asks.

I die when I see the sky has unfurled its colors
And at last after a cloak of darkness announces the day;
If you need scarlet to tint your dawn,
Shed my blood, pour it as the moment comes,
And may it be gilded by a reflection of the heavens newly-born light.

My dreams, when scarcely an adolescent,
My dreams, when a young man already full of life,
Were to see you one day, jewel of the sea of the Orient,
Dry those eyes of black, that forehead high,
Without frown, without wrinkles, without stains of shame.

My lifelong dream, my deep burning desire,
This soul that will soon depart cries out: Salud!
To your health! Oh how beautiful to fall to give you flight,
To die to give you life, to die under your sky,
And in your enchanted land eternally sleep.
