May bagong silang, May bago nang buhay, Bagong bansa, bagong galaw, Sa Bagong Lipunan! Magbabago ang lahat, tungo sa pag-unlad, at ating itanghal, bagong lipunan! May bagong silang, May bago nang buhay, Bagong bansa, bagong galaw, Sa bagong lipunan. Nagbabago ang lahat, tungo sa pag-unlad, at ating itanghal, bagong lipunan! Ang gabi'y nagmaliw nang ganap, at lumipas na ang magdamag. Madaling araw ay nagdiriwang, may umagang namasdan Ngumiti na ang pag-asa sa umagang anong ganda. May bagong silang, May bago nang buhay, Bagong bansa, bagong galaw, Sa bagong lipunan. Nagbabago ang lahat, tungo sa pag-unlad, at ating itanghal, bagong lipunan! | There's a new birth There's a new life A new country, a new path In the New Society! Everything will change, towards progress and let us go and show Our New Society! There's a new birth There's a new life A new country, a new path In the New Society! Everything changes, towards progress and let us go and show Our New Society! As the darkness ends and as night goes away The dawn celebrates as daybreak comes Hope smiles down on us in this glorious new day! There's a new birth There's a new life A new country, a new path In the New Society! Everything changes, towards progress and let us go and show Our New Society! |
