Tigbauan Hymn

You are a most precious gem, Tigbauan,
The spacious sea is your beloved one;
You are a very much cherished treasure,
Of our long ago, ancient forefathers.

In your lush and verdant plains, Tigbauan,
Our parents have sown with aspiration;
Ardent desires for emancipation,
And dreams of a resplendent tomorrow.

Tigbauan, your strands are fully-laden,
your coconut palm wine tastes like honey;
Truly delicious are the fish from the sea,
And the maidens are dainty and pretty.

Tigbauan, in you, hope always lingers,
Your hidden wealth abounds everywhere;
Held in store for who dare to endeavor,
The hard-working will never face hunger.

In your temple of worship and your streets,
Unfadingly inscribed in blood and tears;
Of your own dearest heroic children,
Your immortal history, Tigbauan!

Tigbauan, you are a fair Edenland,
Where live the people who are known to be;
So sympathetic and so endearing,
And fervently believes in the Almighty.

Tigbauan, beautiful and untroubled,
Nest of intimacy and happiness;
Long live, Tigbauan, home of the free,
"Mabuhay" "O, Tigbauan, Mabuhay."
