Bataan Provincial Hymn Song Lyrics

These are the lyrics for the official hymn song of the province of Bataan in the Philippines. The lyrics are in the Filipino/Tagalog language.

Bataan, mutyang lalawigan
Handog ng Maykapal
Dakilang lupain na makasaysayan
Bataan langit sa piling mo
Ang kami’y mabuhay
Kasama ng aming mga kababayan
Sadyang pinagpala ng Poong may lalang
Ang dagat nya’t lupa sagana sa yaman
Di ka malilimot kahit na nasaan
Na lagi kang mahal at ikararangal

Bataan taos naming hangad
Ang ‘yong kaunlaran,
Tapat na layunin
Ika’y paglingkuran
Talino at buhay aming iaalay
Ng dahil sa iyo mutyang lalawigan
Dasal nami’t hiling sa Dyos na Maykapal
Magpakailan pa man ika’y patnubayan
Sa puso at diwa di ka mawawalay
Laging mamahalin habang nabubuhay

(Repeat the 2nd stanza)

Coda:

Bataan… Bataan… Bataan…
