| Sa kabukiran, walang kalungkutan Lahat ng araw ay kaligayahan Ang halaman kung aking masdan Masiglang lahat ang kanilang kulay | In the countryside, there is no sorrow All the days are joyful When I look at the plants Their colors are all cheerful |
| Ang mga ibon nag-aawitan Kawili-wili silang pakinggan O aking buhay na maligaya Busog ang puso at maginhawa | The birds are all a-singing It's entertaining to listen to them Oh, my happy life My heart is full and at ease |
