• Alin Mang LahiKundiman composed by José Rizal
Alin mang lahi, insinasanggalangSa lupit ang kanyang lupang tinubuanTuloy pinaghahanduganNg buhay at dugo kung kailangan
Ang kamatayan man, kung saka-sakaliIgiginhawa ng mga kalahiTatanggapin ng may ngitiKasaliw ang tuwang di mumunti
Nguni’t pagkasawing-plad yata
Ng katagalugang napapanganyayaIbukod pa sa ibang umaabaLalong nagbibigay hapis ang ibang kapwa
Sabagay di kulang sa pupuhunaninLakas, dunong, tapang, yaman ay gayundinAywan kung bakit at inaalipinNg bawa’t lahing makasuno natin
La Deportacion(also known by the title, El Deportado)*composed by Jose Rizal, July 1892 in
Dapitan
Cautivo entre mil cadenas cual un traidor, cual un traidor
Solo lloro mis penas por mi dolor, por mi dolor
Avecesen mi ilusion, la libertad, la libertad
Solo ves en la prison la realidad, la realidad (Repeat)
• La luz del dia nunca vereLa no dia sombria siempre estare,
siempre estareSueño de amores venid ya ver
Por mis dolores, por mis dolores a ver me morir• (Repeat)

FEBRUARY 3, 1886

university and romantics surroundings.

Dr. Otto Becker, distinguished German

Dr. Otto Becker
“TO THE FLOWERS OF HEIDELBERG”
April 22, 1886– Rizal wrote a fine poem entitled “A Las Flores de Heidelberg” (To the Flowers of Heidelberg) because he was fascinated by the blooming flowers along the Neckar River, which is the light blue flower called “forget-me-not”.
• Go to my country, go, O foreign flowers, sown by the traveler along the road, and under that blue heaven that watches over my loved ones, recount the devotion the pilgrim nurses for his native sod! Go and say say that when dawn opened your chalices for the first time beside the icy Neckar, you saw him silent beside you, thinking of her constant vernal clime.
• Say that when dawn which steals your aroma was whispering playful love songs to your young sweet petals, he, too, murmured canticles of love in his native tongue; that in the morning when the sun first traces the topmost peak of Koenigssthul in gold and with a mild warmth raises to life again the valley, the glade, the forest, he hails that sun, still in its dawning, that in his country in full zenith blazes.
