English Translation for Dalagang Pilipina
The Filipina maiden
is like a star in the morning
who brings joy as you stare
at her exceptional radiance and outstanding
beauty
(May it be on thinking, may it be on actions,
decorous, ladylike, and modest in appearance
Her heart is truly pure even as she loves
she has strength and courage from within)
A flower that is indeed, beautiful
its fragrance is truly sweet-scented
In this world, she’s a precious jewel
that gives solace to a heart in pain
A stream of happiness and joy
Destination of everyone’s dream
That’s the Filipina maiden
Deserving of a genuine love
