Bukidnon My Home (English Version)


Wherever I may roam the distant land to see,
I long to go back soon to sweet Bukidnon home,
Her lovely mountains high with forest old and grand,
Bring memories to me the home I long to see,

Chorus:

There my heart yearns to be
In far away Bukidnon land
Under it’s blue starry skies
Where love and joy never die.

(Repeat Chorus)


Bukidnon Kanak Ha Banuwa (Binukid version)


Bisan pa hinduh ah
Lalag kog uli ah
Dini ta Bukidnon
Kanak ha banuwa
Buntod matatangkaw
Kalasan makupal
Patag ha maluag
Ha Tungkay madagway

Chorus:

Bunturan, balalayan
Basakan, kapatagan
Pastuhan, kapinyahan
Alan-alan kauyagan
Langit din piglambungan
Pig-aldawan, kalamagan
Singanam, uranan
Ba Alan-alan kauyagan
