Cagayan Provincial Anthem




(Ybanag version)

Cagayan, dabbun nga kakastan niakan Egga ka lara nakuan ta piam, Nu kurug tu naparayu ka niakan Ariat ta ka bulubuga nga kattaman.

KORO: Cagayan, makemmemmi ka nga innan Cagayan, awan tu kagittam. Nu anni paga y kasta na dabbun karuan Egga ka la ta futu nga ideddukan.

(English version)

I. Cagayan, my valley home is dear to me, Though from her my footsteps far stray, Over mountains, plains, beyond the deep blue sea I shall love her ever be where'er I may.

Chorus: Cagayan, O smiling land of beauty Cagayan, my heart clings unto thee; Though from thee my footsteps far away may stray I shall love thee ever thee be where'er I may.

II. Subtler charms and beauty other skies my yield Other lands a moment may allure; But my turn to Cagayan will be revealed That my love for her shall ever more endure.

(Chorus)

III. 'Tis not riches of the soil, indeed, that hold me to her But treasures of the soul, virtues humble, Loyal Hearts with courage hold, far outweight The earthly says the Holy Scroll.

(Chorus)

IV. May her sons and daughters evermore aspire To be faithful, lovely, good and true Thrifty, peaceful learned, may they never tire Standing for the right though for the right be few.
