Unofficial English translation

May bagong silang,
May bago nang buhay,
Bagong bansa, bagong galaw,
Sa BAGONG LIPUNAN.
Magbabago ang lahat, tungo sa pag-unlad,
at ating itanghal, bagong lipunan!

May bagong silang,
May bago nang buhay,
Bagong bansa, bagong galaw,
Sa bagong lipunan.
Nagbabago ang lahat, tungo sa pag-unlad,
at ating itanghal, bagong lipunan!

Ang gabi'y nagmaliw nang ganap,
at lumipas na ang magdamag.
Madaling araw ay nagdiriwang,
may umagang namasdan
Ngumiti na ang pag-asa
sa umagang anong ganda.

May bagong silang,
May bago nang buhay,
Bagong bansa, bagong galaw,
Sa bagong lipunan.
Nagbabago ang lahat, tungo sa pag-unlad,
at ating itanghal, bagong lipunan!

There's a new birth
There's a new life
A new country, a new path
In the New Society!
Everything will change,
towards progress
and let us go and show
Our NEW SOCIETY!

There's a new birth
There's a new life
A new country, a new path
In the New Society!
Everything changes,
towards progress
and let us go and show
Our New Society!

As the darkness ends
and as night goes away
The dawn celebrates
as daybreak comes
Hope smiles down on us
in this glorious new day!

There's a new birth
There's a new life
A new country, a new path
In the New Society!
Everything changes,
towards progress
and let us go and show
Our New Society!
