Different Versions of the Philippine National Anthem

Lupang Hinirang
(Present Day Version)

Bayang magiliw
Perlas ng Silanganan
Alab ng puso
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay

Lupang Hinirang
Duyan ka ng magiting
San mamlulupig
Di ka pasisiil

Sa dagat at bundok
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal

Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning
Ang bituin at araw niya
Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim

Lupa ng araw, ng Luwalhati't pagsinta
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo
Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo

Diwang Bayan
(Original Version)

O sintang lupa
Perlas ng Silanganan
Diwang apoy kang
Sa araw nagmula

Lupang magiliw
Pugad ng kagitingan
Sa manlulupig
Di ka papaslang

Sa iyong langit, simoy, parang
Dagat at kabundukan
Laganap ang tibok ng puso
Sa paglayang walang hanggang

Sagisag ng watawat mong mahal
Ningning at tagumpay
Araw't bituin niyang maalab
Ang s'yang lagi naming tanglaw

Sa iyo Lupa ng ligaya't pagsinta
Tamis mabuhay na yakap mo
Datapwa't langit ding kung ikaw ay apihin
Ay mamatay ng dahil sa iyo

Filipinas
(Spanish Version)

Tierra adorada
Hija del Sol de Oriente
Su fuego ardiente
En ti latiendo esta

Patria de Amores
Del heroismo cuna
Los invasores
No te hollaran jamas

En tu azul cielo, en tus auras
En tus montes y en tu mar
Esplende y late el poema
De tu amada libertad

To pabelion, que en las lides
La Victoria ilumino
No vera nunca apagagos
Sus estrellas y su sol

Tierra de dichas, de sol y amores
En tu regazo dulce es vivir
Es una gloria para tus hijos
Cuando te ofenden, por ti morir

National Anthem
(English Version)

Land of the Morning
Child of the sun returning
With fervor burning
Thee do our souls adore

Land dear and holy
cradle of noble heroes
Ne'er shall invaders
Trample thy scared shore

Even within the skies
And Through the clouds
And o'er thy hills and sea
Do we behold the radiance,
Feel the throb of glorious liberty

Thy banner, dear to all our hearts
Its sun and stars alight
O never shall its shining field
Be dimmed by tyrant's might!

Beautiful land of love
O land of light
In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie
But it is glory ever
When thou art wronged
For us, thy sons, to suffer and die.

i knew the third first as poetry, not anthem lyrics. then the present-day version next. i discovered the fourth when browsing 1940s literature, and the second is new to me. thanks for posting.
