Aurora Provincial Hymn Song Lyrics

These are the lyrics for the official hymn song of the province of Aurora in the Philippines. The lyrics were written by Benjamin P. Galban, a former teacher from Baler. Galban also composed the music. The hymn was arranged by Arnel de Pano. The song was officially designated as the provincial hymn in 2015 through a provincial ordinance titled An Ordinance Providing for the Official Hymn of the Province of Aurora. A contest was held in 2014 to look for an official hymn. Galban's composition won the contest.

Aurora, Bayan Ko

Isigaw natin: "Mabuhay ang Aurora!"
Isigaw natin: "Mabuhay ang Aurora!"

Oh Aurora, inang bayan, ika'y makasaysayan
Sagana ka sa kalikasan, dulot ng Poong Maykapal
Pag ibig ko'y ilalaan, sa iyo Aurora - bayang mahal

Mga palayan mong luntian, punong niyog, kabukiran
Yaman na pang-agdong buhay, nakakabighaning kagandahan

Malalago mong kagubatan, mga ilog karagatan
Mabiyaya at masagana, ika'y bayang pinagpala!

Oh Aurora inang bayan, ika'y makasaysayan
Sagana ka sa kalikasan, dulot ng Poong Maykapal
Pag ibig ko'y ilalaan sa iyo Aurora - bayan kong mahal

Kultura′t malayang isip, likas na iwi mong bait
Sa lilim ng iyong araw, pag-ibig ay nananahan

Bayan ka ng pananalig, laban sa gawang lihis
Kung tayo'y magsama-sama, buhay ay giginhawa

Oh Aurora inang bayan, ika'y makasaysayan
Sagana ka sa kalikasan, dulot ng Poong Maykapal
Pag ibig ko'y ilalaan, sa iyo Aurora - bayan kong mahal

Isigaw natin: "Mabuhay ang Aurora!"
Isigaw natin: "Mabuhay ang Aurora!"
