Libera "Bayan Ko" Video from Manila 2013 & Lyrics

Libera just posted the video of their performance of "Bayan Ko" on October 29, 2013 at the PICC in Manila, Philippines. They also posted a message -

"It is dedicated here out of deepest respect to those who suffered unimaginable loss in Typhoon Haiyan."

Libera performed 2 concerts in the Philippines after a 7.1 earthquake struck Bohol and surrounding areas on October 15, 2013 and before Typhoon Haiyan hit on November 8, 2013.

"Bayan Ko" is a very patriotic song in the Philippines. Libera sang it in the Filipino language as a special encore at the concerts. You can see the audience loved it!

Please pray for the people in the Philippines. You can donate to the American Red Cross for Philippines typhoon relief here.


Lyrics in Filipino:

Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bayan ko, binihag ka,
Nasadlak sa dusa.

Ibon mang may layang lumipad,
Kulungin mo at umiiyak!
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag,
Ang 'di magnasang makaalpas?
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko't dalita
Aking adhika
Makita kang sakdal laya!

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas,
Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak.
Pag-ibig ang sa kaniyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag.
At sa kaniyang yumi at ganda,
Dayuhan ay nahalina.
Bayan ko, binihag ka,
Nasadlak sa dusa.

Ibon mang may layang lumipad,
Kulungin mo at umiiyak!
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag,
Ang 'di magnasang makaalpas?
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko't dalita
Aking adhika
Makita kang sakdal laya!
 Bayan Ko!


English translation:

Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~
My country, thou wast enslaved,
Mired in suffering.

Even birds that are free to fly,
Cage them and they shall cry!
How much more for country so beautiful,
Would she not yearn to be free?
My Philippines that I treasure,
Cradle of my tears and suffering
My dream
Is to see thee truly free!

My country, the Philippines,
Land of gold and flowers.
Love is in her palms
That offered beauty and splendor.
And, for her refinement and beauty,
Foreigners were enticed.
My country, thou wast enslaved,
Mired in suffering.

Even birds that are free to fly,
Cage them and they shall cry!
How much more for country so beautiful,
Would she not yearn to be free?
My Philippines that I treasure,
Cradle of my tears and suffering
My dream
Is to see thee truly free!
 My country!
