Lahi ng Lipi



Lahi ng Lipi
Sweet Cel Dela Cruz

Ako ay isang Pilipino,
At Filipino ang wika ko,
Mula sa dila ng ninuno,
Isang wikang mahal kong buo.

Mahal kong wikang Filipino,
Ano ba maikukwento mo?
Anong hirap ba ang dinanas?
Upang ikaw ay maitaas?

O kay haba ng iyong kwento,
Kabiyak historyang Pilipino,
Dugo at pawis ang pumapatak,
Ikaw lama'y maipanganak.

Bagamat tayo'y inaapi,
Nawa'y wag tayong magpagapi,
Wag ipagpalit, ating wika,
Para sa dila ng banyaga.
