Lumuha ka, aking Bayan; buong lungkot mong iluha Lumuha ka kung sa puso ay nagmaliw na ang layon,
Ang kawawang kapalaran ng lupain mong kawawa: Kung ang araw sa langit mo ay lagi nang dapithapon,
Ang bandilang sagisag mo’y lukob ng dayong bandila, Kung ang alon sa dagat mo ay ayaw nang
Pati wikang minana mo’y busabos ng ibang wika, magdaluyong,
Ganito ring araw nang agawan ka ng laya, Kung ang bulkan sa dibdib mo ay hindi man
Labintatlo ng Agosto nang saklutin ang Maynila, umuungol,
Kung wala nang maglalamay sa gabi ng
Lumuha ka, habang sila ay palalong nagdiriwang, pagbabangon,
Sa libingan ng maliit, ang malaki’y may libingan; Lumuha ka nang lumuha’t ang laya mo’y nakaburol.
Katulad mo ay si Huli, naaliping bayad-utang,
Katulad mo ay si Sisa, binaliw ng kahirapan; May araw ding ang luha mo’y masasaid, matutuyo,
Walang lakas na magtanggol, walang tapang na May araw ding di na luha sa mata mong namumugto
lumaban, Ang dadaloy, kundi apoy, at apoy na kulay dugo,
Tumataghoy, kung paslangin; tumatangis, kung Samantalang ang dugo mo ay aserong kumukulo;
nakawan! Sisigaw kang buong giting sa liyab ng libong sulo
At ang lumang tanikala’y lalagutin mo ng punglo!
Iluha mo ang sambuntong kasawiang nagtalakop
Na sa iyo’y pampahirap, sa banyaga’y pampalusog:
Ang lahat mong kayamana’y kamal-kamal na naubos,
Ang lahat mong kalayaa’y sabay-sabay na natapos;
Masdan mo ang iyong lupa, dayong hukbo’y nakatanod,
Masdan mo ang iyong dagat, dayong bapor, nasa laot!
