BICOL REGIONAL MARCH

MASBATE MARCH

Hail! dear beloved Bicolandia

Where the deep, blue, summer skies

Home of the Virgin of Peñafrancia

Kiss the summer sea

Renowned for Pilinut and Sili

And the waves dance though winds sigh

From dawn to dusk we’re singing our praise to thee

Over green Isles three Where hills, rivers and green fields

Verdant plains, sparkling rivers and seas

Keep a people free

Hills and mountains, trees adorned

Lies the land God sustains

From the shores across the seas

Our home, beloved e'er Masbate be.

Oh! Nature’s gifts to thee abound

Masbate forgotten never For thee we'll live and strive and love

(Refrain)

Joy and peace, be thine forever

Bicolandia! Bicolandia!

God's blessing crown thee from above

Our native land, behold!

Thy children shall bear thy name afar

Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur

Over land and sea were' er they roam

Catanduanes, Masbate, Sorsogon

Beloved Masbate, we will live and dream and love and strive for thee.

Cities of Iriga, Naga, Ligao, Legazpi Tabaco, Sorsogon and Masbate

Isles of rolling hills and vales

Abode of noble heroes, land of the free

where the cattle graze

Oh! Mt. Mayon is watching over thee

Coco palms and fecund hills Ever green always

(Coda)

Mines of gold and copper ores

Bicolandia! Bicolandia!

Rich hills, teeming seas

The home of the “Oragons”

It's Masbate beloved

Fearless warriors, bold yet plain

Our pride for whom we'll strive

To truth and dignity we give in

Live, fight and serve.

(Repeat Coda)

Masbate, Ticao, Burias

Rit: to truth and dignity we give in.

You are the dearest Isles we know Where strong men and lovely women Forever told that thou mayest grow Thy people are ever peaceful But fight for right and honor's sake In sportsfest, in battle Its Masbate that will shine Forever more.
