Info:
This is an excerpt from Joey Ayala’s talk in a TEDxDiliman forum last October 13, 2013. Ayala, a veteran Filipino singer-songwriter, observed that there are mispronunciations in the Philippine National Anthem, the “Lupang Hinirang”.

In this version, Ayala altered the tempo and transposed it, into what he described, as a “swaying” kind of melody. Such was derived from the usual feel of Filipino Folk love songs or the “Kundiman”. The adjusted tempo likewise made the lyrics clear and easy to pronounce. He expressed that the “swaying” feel would further reflect the "non-confrontational and soft" trait of the Filipino People.

He noted that the phrase "ang magmahal nang dahil sa'yo" (to love for the country) would serve as a better ending for the anthem rather than “ang mamatay ng dahil sayo” (to die for the country), which he thinks, delivers a  grave and dark feel to the song. 

I hope I will not go to jail for this hahaha. 

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Music and lyrics by Nicole Abuda

Ako’y isang ibong nais lumipad
Sumabay sa hangin, saanman mapadpad
Sa lawak ng dagat, doo’y maglayag
Lumutang kasabay ng ulap

Chorus 1:
Subalit binihag, ginapos ng isang
Isipang sarado’t walang layang lumipad
Sa puso ng kagubata’y nais magbalik
Hugasan ang sugatang mga kamay

Ako’y isang ibong putol ang pakpak
Hayaang dalhin ng mga pangarap
Sa liwanag ng paraisong nais marating
Sa pugad ko’y babalik din

Chorus 2:
Ako’y isang talang nagniningning
Sa kalagitnaan ng kagubatang madilim
Kung kaya mo, kaya kong kumawala sa gapos
At suongin ang gabing madilim
Ooh….

Bridge:
At nang binuksan ang kulungang masikip
Binawi ang susi at tinapon sa himpapawid
Kasama ang mga ibong lumipad
Sa ilalim ng mga bituin

Napawi ang lungkot at tuluyang tinupad
Ang mga mithiin ng diwa’t damdamin
Mata’y nakatitig sa kulay ng langit
At lumutang sa himpapawid

Ako’y isang talang nagniningning
Sa kalagitnaan ng kagubatang madilim
Kung kaya mo, kaya kong kumawala sa gapos
At suongin ang gabing madilim

Ooh…

Ibon (Original)

Disclaimer: This is not a love song

Kaya pala may malaking espasyo 
Sa puso kong ito
Kaya pala di makumple-kumpleto 
Ang tila puzzle kong mundo

Nasa kanan pala ang puso kong tatanga-tanga
Di marunong tumantsa
Sugod ng sugod
Kahit na mabubog

Kaya pala walang kabuhay-buhay
Mga likhang awit at tula
At kahit na patingkarin ang kulay
Bawat pagpinta’y pumuputla

Nasa kanan pala ang puso kong kunwari’y masaya
Pabalik-balik sa simula
7 taong nasayang
Matagal na palang tangan-tangan


Hinanap-hanap ko pa
At nagpakalayo-layo
Nilakbay ang buong mundo
Pero nasa kanan lang pala ang puso ko

Lupang Hinirang (Joey Ayala Live at Ted x Diliman)
