When the most heavenly sunrise fades away,
And the night stars start to show under the sky;
When the last drop of ink finally spills on the paper,
And the last leaf of the shabbiest tree falls out;
The idea of you we had will forever be tattooed on our spirits.
The fearlessness you have proved made everyone to be one as you are.
The brilliance you have shown made each Filipino serve just as you.
The works you have left made our eyes open in the truth;
The willingness to sacrifice you have prosecuted gave liberty to our motherland,
You aren’t the nation’s goat but the brain behind it—
You are Rizal, our beloved national hero.
In the garden of your remembrance,
May you always feel the love and notable gratitude of your people,
In your statue we bow, in your soul we clasp,
You are the hero—the brain of the nation.
