Maglipay ang Tagbilaranon
Ni-ining panahona

Kay kita nga daw mga igso-on
Ani-a naghi-usa

I-ampo ta sa kahitas-an
Nga unta magpadayon
Kining kabilin nga atong nasandan
Molungtad sa gihapon . . . . . .Oh!

Oh! Tagbilaran
Lungsod namong sa gugma natingban

Oh! Tagbilaran
Ikaw among giyukbo-an
Sa kasaysayan
Dili ka hikalimtan
Ug among ampingan
Ang mahal mong ngalan.
