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)
