Lyrics:

Magtanim ay di biro;                                Sa umaga pagkagising,

maghapong nakayuko.                              lahat ay iisipin.

Di naman makatayo;                                 Kung saan may patanim,

di naman makaupo.                                   may masarap na pagkain.

 

Bisig ko’y namamanhid;                           Ay, pagkasawimpalad

baywang ko’y nangangawit.                      ng inianak sa hirap.

Binti ko’y namimintig,                              Ang bisig kung di iunat,


sa pagkababad sa tubig.                             di kumita ng pilak.

 

Magtanim, Magtanim,                               Magtanim, Magtanim,

Magtanim ay di biro.                                 Magtanim ay di biro.

Maghapon, maghapon,                              Maghapon, maghapon,

Maghapong naka yuko.                             Maghapong naka yuko.

 

Halina, halina, mga kaliyag,                      Halina, halina, mga kaliyag,

tayo’y magsipag-unat-unat.                       tayo’y magsipag-unat-unat.

Magpanibago tayo ng lakas,                      Magpanibago tayo ng lakas,

para sa araw ng bukas.                               para sa araw ng bukas.
