Verdant are your mountains;
How bountiful your fields and plains!
Full of life are your rivers clear.
Oh, Apayao we hold you dear.
Peace-loving are your people;
One in our diversity.
Our limbs and lives we offer
To keep you forever free.
Forever, Apayao!
Your beauty so serene
Inspires all efforts noble.

Secure in nature's bounty
In harmony we dwell.
Proudly to all the world we proclaim:

Was a distinct identity.
We pledge to keep their dreams alive
Working in peace and unity.
Forever, Apayao!
Your beauty so serene
Inspires all efforts noble.
For you we'll live and dream
United by you we will stand
God holds you in His hand
Proudly to all the world we proclaim:
