Lyrics
Tagalog:


Bantayog ng kagitingan

Itong aming lalawigan

Pinabanal at dinakila

Bayang magiliw, pinagpala


Tapos na ang digmaan

Narito na ang kapayapaan

Tuloy pa rin ang paglaban

Sa tukso at kasalanan


Chorus:

Bataan, Bataan

Peninsulang minamahal

Tinawag maging banal ng Panginoon sa 'yoy humirang

(Repeat)

(Repeat first and second parts)


Bridge:
Kabanalan ng kaparian

Kabanalan ng sambayan

Kabanalan at kabayanihan

Hamon sa iyo Bataan, Bataan

(Repeat chorus)

English:

This our province

A sign of courage

Holy and great

Beloved country, blessed


The war has ended

The peace has come

The battle continues

Against sin and temptation


Chorus:

Bataan, Bataan

Beloved peninsula

Called to be holy

By the Lord that you were chosen

(Repeat)
(Repeat first and second stanzas)

Bridge:

Holiness of priests

Holiness of community

Holiness and bravery

We offer to you, Bataan, Bataan

(Repeat Chorus)
