(+mi ultimo adios+)

Farewell, beloved Country, treasured region of the sun,
Pearl of the sea of the Orient, our vanquished Eden!
To you I gladly surrender this melancholy life;
And were it brighter, fresher, gaudier,
Even then Id give it to you, to you alone would then I give.
In fields of battle, deliriously fighting,
Others give you their lives, without doubt, without regret;
Where theres cypress, laurel or lily,
On a plank or open field, in combat or cruel martyrdom,
If the home or country asks, it's all the same--it matters not.
I die when I see the sky unfurls its colors
And at last after a cloak of darkness announces the day;
If you need scarlet to tint your dawn,
Paint with my blood, pour it as the moment comes,
And may it be gilded by a reflection of the heavens new-born light.
My dreams, even as a child,
My dreams, when a young man in the prime of life,
Were to see you one day, jewel of the eastern seas,
Dry those dark eyes, raise that forehead high,
Without frown, without wrinkle, without stain of shame.
My lifelong dream, my deep burning desire,
Is for this soul that will soon depart to cry out: Salud!
To your health! Oh how beautiful to fall to give you flight,
To die to give you life, to rest under your sky,
And in your enchanted land forever sleep.
If upon my grave one day you may behold,
Amidst the dense grass, a simple lowly flower,
Place it upon your lips, and my soul youll kiss,
And on my brow may I feel, under the cold tomb,
The tenderness of your touch, the warmth of your breath.
Let the moon see me in soft and tranquil light,
Let the dawn burst forth its fleeting radiance,
Let the wind moan with its gentle murmur,
And should a bird descend and rest on my cross,
Let it sing its canticle of peace.
Let the burning sun evaporate the rain,
And with the struggle behind, towards the sky may they turn pure;
Let a friend mourn my early demise,
And in the serene afternoon, when someone prays for me,
O Country, pray that God will also grant me rest!
Pray for all the unfortunate ones who died,
For all who suffered torment unequaled,
For grieving mothers who in bitterness cry,
For orphans and widows, for prisoners in torture,
And for yourself to see your redemption at last.
And when the burial ground is shrouded in dark night,
And there alone, only the departed remain in vigil,
Disturb not their rest, nor their secrets,
And should you hear chords from a zither or harp,
'Tis I, O land beloved, 'tis I, to you I sing !
And when my grave, then by all forgotten,
has not a cross nor stone to mark its place,
Let men plow and with a spade disperse it,
And before my ashes return to nothing,
May they be the dust that carpets your fields.
Then nothing matters, cast me in oblivion.
Your air, your space, your valleys I will cross.
I will be vibrant music to your ears,
Aroma, light, colors, murmur, moan, and song,
Ever echoing the essence of my faith.
Land that I love, sorrow of my sorrows,
Adored Filipinas, hear my last good-bye.
There I leave you all, my parents, my beloved.
I go where there are no slaves, hangmen nor oppressors,
Where faith does not kill, where the one who reigns is God.
Goodbye, dear parents, brother and sisters, fragments of my soul,
Childhood friends in the home now gone,
Give thanks that I rest from this wearisome day;
Goodbye, sweet stranger, my friend, my joy;
Farewell, loved ones. To die is to rest.

  • SPANISH LANGUAGE SHOULD BE THE SECOND OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IN THE PHILIPPINES!! who's with me!?

  • What a beautiful song!

    The execution of Jose Rizal was a mistake. Jose only seeking greater autonomy for the Philippines, not independence from Spain. He himself never recognized as guilty of rebellion. He wanted equality for the Filipinos. Their culture was Hispanic.

    Viva Filipinas! Viva España!

  • @tururu1981 olaa hermano soy valenciana vive en Manila :D

  • @gilian630 Im with you!

  • @Arianovich ...en esa guerra que duro al menos 10 años murieron 1 millon de filipinos , se calcula que el 10% de la poblacion y la inmensa mayoria mestizos de habla castellana que tomaron el control despues de la salida de España por ser la poblacion mejor preparada.

    Pero no odio a los norteamericanos , es historia , solo quiero rendir un tributo a los que lucharon por lo que consideraron justo , mi bisabuelo por España ,los filipinos por su patria.

    Estaria bien luchar por la hispanidad

  • @Arianovich Sobre el tema lingüistico en particular ,me molesta que alguna gente que veo aqui en youtube escribiendo mal alardeen de ello diciendo que es su dialecto , entonces debe haber varios miles de dialectos personales.

    Sobre Filipinas tengo que decir que tuve a un bisabuelo alli como soldado denfendiendo ese territorio cuando era español ,que a los mestizos filipinos les engañaron los norteamericanos y despues los masacraron cuando reclamaron la independencia ( 1899 ) muchos eran mestizos

  • @jjgnbf Eso es verdad,hoy en dia mucha gente no habla sino escupe el castellano.
