Iloilo, our very own most precious gem,
Enchanting queen of the Western Visayan realm;
In our fatherland's long forgotten yesterday,
Nobly printed is your colorful history.
You are the cherished home of our dear forefathers,
Who in search for freedom, scoured the seamless waters;
Fiercely defended and held in veneration
Ever from generation to generation.
Iloilo, our homeland bountiful and fair,
Your vast and verdant plains are bathed with heaven's care;
By the playful waves, your hem is fondly caressed,
And tenderly kissed by the sun before its rest
Though someday, we may be drifted by destiny ,
To a horizon hundreds of miles faraway
Back to your lap, where our life first dawned,we will be,
To offer triumph for your honor and glory.
