Felicitación
by José Rizal
“Las hermanas de tu esposa
- Te felicitan en tus días.”
- I
- Si filomena con arpada lengua
- Al rubio Apolo, que su fa asoma
- Tras alta loma o encumbrado monte,
- Trinos envía.
- II
- También nosotras de contento Ilenas
- Te saludamos y a tu noble santo
- En tierno canto y fraternales metros,
- Caro Antonino.
- III
- De tus hermanas y demás parientes
- Recibe amable el cariñoso acento.
- Que el suave aliento del amor los dicta
- Plácido y tierno.
- IV
- De maable esposa y cariñoso Emilio
- Dulce recibas la sin par ternura,
- Y su dulzura en la desgracia ablande
- Rudos tormentos.
- V
- Cual el piloto, que lochó valiente
- Con las borrascas en la noche oscura
- Mira segura su querida nave,
- Llegado al Puerto;
- VI
- Así, dejando los mundanos lates,
- Tus ojos miren en el alto cielo
- Al que es Consuelo de los hombres todos
- Padre qauerido.
- VII
- Y de nosotras, que con tierno acento
- Te saludamos por doquíer festivas
- Ruidosos vivas, que del pecho salen,
- Grato recibe.

Felicitation
by José Rizal (Translated in English by Nick Joaquin)
“The sisters of your wife
- Greet you on your feast day.”
- I
- If Philomela with harmonious tongue
- To blond Apollo, who manifests his face
- Behind high hill or overhanging mountain,
- Canticles sends.
- II
- So we as well, full of a sweet contentment,
- Salute you and your very noble saint
- With tender music and fraternal measures,
- Dear Antonino.
- III
- From all your sisters and your other kin
- Receive most lovingly the loving accent
- That the suave warmth of love dictates to them
- Placid and tender.
- IV
- From amorous wife and amiable Emilio
- Sweetly receive an unsurpassed affection;
- And may its sweetness in disaster soften
- The ruder torments.
- V
- As the sea pilot, who so bravely fought
- Tempestuous waters in the dark of night,
- Gazes upon his darling vessel safe
- And come to port.
- VI
- So, setting aside all [worldly] predilections,
- Now let your eyes be lifted heavenward
- To him who is the solace of all men
- And loving Father.
- VII
- And from ourselves that in such loving accents
- Salute you everywhere you celebrate,
- These clamorous vivas that from the heart resound
- Be pleased to accept.
Maligayang Bati
- I
- Kung si Filomenang sa dila'y may tamis
- Ang sa kay Apolo, sa kanyang pagsilip
- Sa may kabukira't bundok na masungit
- Ang may dalang awit
- II
- Kaya naman kaming nangasisiyahan
- Sa iyo't sa iyong Santo'y nagpupugay
- Sa himig ng awit na makamagulang
- Antoninong mahal
- III
- Sa mga kapatid at mga kaanak
- Tanggapin mo ngayon ang awit na tapat
- Na sa mahinahong pag-ibig ay buhat
- Sa puno ng galak
- IV
- Sa maybahay mo man at sa kay Emilyo
- Matamis na bati ang matatanggap mo
- At nawa'y sa dusang iyong matatamo
- Ngiti'y makabago
- V
- Gaya ng piloting lumaban sa unos
- Sa dilim ng gai na nakalulunos
- Ngayo'y minamasadang bangka mo'y maglagos
- Sa pasiga'y abot
- VI
- Gayon mo iiwan ang pangmundong dampa
- Na taas sa langit ang matang may tuwa
- Sa langit ng aliw ng tauhang madla
- Amang pinagpala
- VII
- At saka may lambing na tinig
- Pagpupugay naman'y iyong maririnig
- Ingay ng Mabuhay! Na buti sa dibdib
- Tanggapi't pag-ibig
