Lyrics by: Silvia Madiaga
I
What am I here for, as if at the earth’s end
In my land of isles so scattered
Like a rock shattered?
II
What for is my journey,
Bringing along these lessons,
These guiding theories,
Re-tracing these experiences?
Chorus
I’m here for unity, forward advance
I’m here so that the scattered isles
Will be turned into a solid fortress
III
Why do we search for the right application
of leadership and implementation
for the masses rising for revolution?
Chorus II
We are here for unity, forward advance
We are here for rectification, resurgence
We are here for our scattered isles
That we will turn into a solid fortress
Unity, struggle,
Victory for our nation
Is our contribution to the world,
To humanity’s liberation
Chorus
We are here for unity, forward advance
We are here for the oppressed Filipino masses
We are here to turn our scattered isles
Into a solid fortress
This is the great mission of the Filipino proletariat
