Muog
Lyrics by: Silvia Madiaga
Intro: C-Em-C-Em
I
C Em Am
Bakit ako naririto, tila dulo ng mundo
D7 G
na ng bayan kong pulu-pulo
F E
parang sumabog na bato
II
C Em Am
Bakit ba ako naglakbay, dala itong mga aral
D7 G
mga teoryang gumagabay
F E
karanasang binabaybay
Koro 1
C Em
Narito ako para sa pagkakaisa, pagsulong
Am D7 G Narito ako para sa pagwawasto, pagdaluyong
C Em
Narito ako para ang kalat-kalat na pulo
Am 7 G
Maging muog na buo
Interlude: C- Em –C-Em
III (same chords with Ist verse)
Bakit ating hinahanap, ang wastong paglalapat
ng pamumuno at pagtupad
Sa masang bumabalikwas
Koro 2 (same with Koro 1)
Narito tayo para sa pagkakaisa, pagsulong
Narito tayo para sa pagwawasto pagdaluyong
Narito tayo para ang kalat-kalat na pulo
Magiging muog na buo
Bridge:
F G
Pagkakaisa, paglaban
Em Am
Tagumpay ng ating bayan
F G
Ay ambag sa daigdigan
Em A
paglaya ng sangkatauhan
(Ulitin koro 2x)
D F#m
Narito tayo para sa pagkakaisa, pagsulong
Bm E7 A
Narito tayo para sa masang aping Pilipino
D F#m
Narito tayo para ang kalat-kalat na pulo
Bm A
Magiging muog na buo
Em A Bm Bm-A (2x)
Ito ang dakilang misyon ng Pilipino proletaryo
English translation: Solid Fortress
I
What am I here for, as if at the earth’s end
In my land of isles so scattered
Like a rock shattered?
II
What for is my journey,
Bringing along these lessons,
These guiding theories,
Re-tracing these experiences?
Chorus
I’m here for unity, forward advance
I’m here so that the scattered isles
Will be turned into a solid fortress
III
Why do we search for the right application
of leadership and implementation
for the masses rising for revolution?
Chorus II
We are here for unity, forward advance
We are here for rectification, resurgence
We are here for our scattered isles
That we will turn into a solid fortress
Unity, struggle,
Victory for our nation
Is our contribution to the world,
To humanity’s liberation
Chorus
We are here for unity, forward advance
We are here for the oppressed Filipino masses
We are here to turn our scattered isles
Into a solid fortress
This is the great mission of the Filipino proletariat
