What is the notion of nation that the lyrics convey? Or what are the qualities of the imagined nation in the song’s lyrics? The song ends with the speaker in the song saying s/he is willing to die for the nation (bayang magiliw). How does her/his notion of the nation lead to this conclusion? Land of the morning, Child of the sun returning, With fervor burning, Thee do our souls adore. Land dear and holy, Cradle of noble heroes, Never shall invaders Trample thy sacred shore. Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds And over thy hills and sea, Do we behold the radiance, feel the throb, Of glorious liberty. Thy banner, dear to all our hearts, Its sun and stars alight, O never shall its shining field Be dimmed by tyrant’s might! Beautiful land of love, o land of light, In thine embrace ’tis rapture to lie, But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged, For us, thy sons to suffer and die.
