| TAGALOG LYRICS Nais kong lumipad tulad ng agila At lumutang-lutang sa hangin Magkaroon ng pugad sa puso ng kagubatan Ngunit ito'y panaginip lang At maaaring 'di matupad 'Pagkat ang kagubatan ay unti-unting nawawala Mga puno nito'y nangingibang-bayan At 'pag walang puno wala na ring mapupugaran Kapag ang agila'y walang pugad Wala na s'yang dahilang lumipad O, haring ibon Hari kong tunay Nais kong tumulong Na ang kaharian mo'y Muling mabuhay! | ENGLISH TRANSLATION I want to fly like an eagle And float on the wind To have a nest in the heart of the forest But this is only a dream And may not come true Because the forest is slowly disappearing Its trees are going to other countries And without trees, there's nowhere to nest When an eagle has no nest It has o reason to fly Oh, bird king My true king I want to help I want your kingdom To come alive again! |
