Paalam na, sintang lupang tinubuan, Bayang masagana sa init ng araw, Edeng maligaya sa ami’y pumanaw At perlas ng dagat sa dakong Silangan. Inihahandog ko ng ganap na tuwa Sa iyo yaring buhay na lanta na’t aba; Naging dakila ma’y iaalay rin nga Kung dahil sa iyong ikatitimawa. Ang nanga sa digmaan dumog sa paglaban Handog din sa iyo ang kanilang buhay, Hirap ay di pansin at di gunamgunam Ang pagkaparool o pagtagumpay. Paalam na liyag, tanging kaulayaw, taga ibang lupang aking katuwaan, paaalam sa inyo, mga minamahal; mamatay ay ganap na katahimikan.
Huling Paalam
First 3 Stanzas + Last Stanza
My Ultimate Goodbye (First 3 Stanzas and the last Stanza) Farewell, my adored Land, region of the sun caressed, Pearl of the Orient Sea, our Eden lost, With gladness I give you my Life, sad and repressed; And were it more brilliant, more fresh and at its best, I would still give it to you for your welfare at most. On the fields of battle, in the fury of fight, Others give you their lives without pain or hesitancy, The place does not matter: cypress laurel, lily white, Scaffold, open field, conflict or martyrdom's site, It is the same if asked by home and Country. I die as I see tints on the sky b'gin to show And at last announce the day, after a gloomy night; If you need a hue to dye your matutinal glow, Pour my blood and at the right moment spread it so, And gild it with a reflection of your nascent light! Farewell, parents, brothers, beloved by me, Friends of my childhood, in the home distressed; Give thanks that now I rest from the wearisome day; Farewell, sweet stranger, my friend, who brightened my way; Farewell, to all I love. To die is to rest.
My Ultimate Farewell
I chose this poem because it was written by Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. In addition, I think this poem is very heartfelt as he is saying goodbye to the country he has lived in and loved for his whole life. He is saying farewell as he was soon to be executed because he was telling the Filipinos bad things about the Spaniards.
