Kundiman

The poem tells how Rizal expresses his everlasting love for our motherland. Hoping that someday in the right time that our nation would be free from all the bad memories that the Filipino people already suffered. A time in which our fellowmen would taste the freedom and claim what was one's ours.

Truly hushed today

Are my tongue and heart

Harm is discerned by love

And joy flies away,

'Cause the Country was

Vanquished and did yield

Through the negligence

Of the one who led.

But the sun will return to dawn;

In spite of everything

Subdued people

Will be liberated;

The Filipino name

Will return perhaps

And again become

In vogue in the world.

We shall shed

Blood and it shall flood

Only to emancipate

The native land;

While the designated time

Does not come,

Love will rest

And anxiety will sleep.
