Our Mother Tongue (A poem originally in Tagalog written by Rizal when he was only eight years old) IF truly a people dearly love The tongue to them by Heaven sent. They'll surely yearn for liberty Like a bird above in the firmament BECAUSE by its language one can judge A town, a barrio, and kingdom And like any other created thing Every human being loves his freedom. ONE who doesn't love his native tongue, Is worse than putrid fish and beast AND like a truly precious thing It therefore deserves to be cherished. THE Tagalog language's akin to Latin, To English, Spanish, angelical tongue; For God who knows how to look after us This language He bestowed us upon. AS others, our language is the same With alphabet and letters of its own It was lost because a storm did destroy On the lake the bangka 1 in years bygone.
