LYRICS (EXPLANATION ABOUT THE SONG BELOW):

Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the Golden future time.

Soon or late the day is coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone.

Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,
Bit and spur shall rust forever,
Cruel whips no more shall crack.

Riches more than mind can picture,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans and mangel-wurzels
Shall be ours upon that day.

Bright will shine the fields of England,
Purer shall its waters be,
Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes
On the day that sets us free.

For that day we all must labour,
Though we die before it break;
Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,
All must toil for freedom's sake.

Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken well, and spread my tidings
Of the Golden future time.

(This recording is an acapella rendition of a song from George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm." Some say it's Orwell's parody of the great socialist anthem "L'Internationale" or "The Internationale." This recording has been made for educational purposes. According to "Animal Farm," the song's tune is somewhere between "La Cucaracha" and "My Darling Clementine." For practical purposes, I used the tune "My Darling Clementine" for this rendition. My apologies for my not-so-good voice and the bad quality of the video. I used my mobile phone to record the video.)

Beasts of England

Martsa ng Tanggol Wika (musika ng “Solidarity Forever”)

Sa Luzon at Visayas, hanggang sa Mindanao
Panawagan natin ay nagsilbing batingaw
Panggising at pangmulat sa bayan ay tanglaw
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!

Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!

Sarili nating kasaysayan at ating panitikan
Kulturang pinamana ng lahing pinagmulan
Aaralin, susuriin, at payayabungin pa
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!

Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!

Ang mga manggagawa at mga magsasaka
Maralita at lumad ng bayang sinisinta
Kasangga at kasama sa layang inaasam
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!

Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!

Karimlan ng kolonyalismo'y ating iwawaksi
Sa mga imperyalista di tayo pagagapi
Ang dila at ang diwa natin ay malaya na
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!

Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!


Sanlibutan na mapayapa at mayro’ng katarungan
Tinig ng bawat lipi ay ating pakikinggan
Sa ating bayanihan, babaguhin ang mundo
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!

Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Wika’t bayan, ipaglaban!
Sulong, Tanggol Wika!

My own Tagalog version of "Do You Hear The People Sing" (from "Les Miserables" musical). Sang for educational purposes only. My apologies for my voice and the bad video quality. BTW, this is my own translation of the lyrics (probably the only Filipino/Tagalog translation?; though there is a Visayan version of the whole musical). Here's the lyrics:
Do You Hear The People Sing? (Tagalog version)
O naririnig mo ba
Ang tinig ng sambayanan
Himig at musika ng bayan
na ngayo'y nanindigan
Puso ay pumipintig
Nagliliyab ang damdamin
Bagong umaga
Ang sa ati'y darating!

Ikaw ba'y papanig na
Sa bayan na nagkaisa
Sa gitna nitong dilim
Liwanag ba'y iyong hiling
Kaya't tayo na, humayo patungo sa paglaya!

O naririnig mo ba
Ang tinig ng sambayanan
Himig at musika ng bayan
na ngayo'y nanindigan
Puso ay pumipintig
Nagliliyab ang damdamin
Bagong umaga
Ang sa ati'y darating!

Ibibigay ba ang lahat
Nang adhika'y maging ganap
Mayro'ng mapapaslang
Makibaka'y tila sugal
Dugo ng martir
Ang sa lupa'y didilig!

O naririnig mo ba
Ang tinig ng sambayanan
Himig at musika ng bayan
na ngayo'y nanindigan
Puso ay pumipintig
Nagliliyab ang damdamin
Bagong umaga
Ang sa ati'y darating!

Acappella rendition of Bella Ciao's Filipino/Tagalog version (lyrics from a Spanish-Filipino version sung by Jose Maria Sison)
Note: Sa siglo 21 ay lalong pinopularisa ng series na "Money Heist" ang awiting ito na sa orihinal na konteksto ay awitin ng mga partisano/gerilyang anti-Nazi sa Italya. For starters, eto ang isang maikling video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9d1ycuCoVg

Ang rendition na ito ay pagpupugay kay Manolis Glezos, partisanong Griyego na yumao ilang oras ang nakararaan, at pagpapahayag na rin ng pakikipagkaisa/solidaridad sa mga taga-Italya na pinaka-apektado ng COVID-19 sa ngayon.

LYRICS:

Alma mater a prayer from the teachers
You've enlightened our minds to success
Hear a song from the hearts of the masters
Of the compass, slide rule and pen

Alma mater, your fame
We shall carry it everywhere
We shall strive for the glory of your name
For your honors oh BSU dear

We shall leave traces on the stars
We shall follow your torch to our goal
For our country we’ll struggle
Pledge to our share in life’s game
Oh BSU when we part, aware and willing
Your sons in flight of time
We shall hail thee with praises and cheers

We shall leave traces on the stars
We shall follow your torch to our goal
For our country we’ll struggle
Pledge to our share in life’s game
Oh BSU when we part, aware and willing
Your sons in flight of time
We shall hail thee with praises and cheers,
Oh BSU dear!
