Susi ng Pag-asa
ni Dalagang Pilipina
Kung ang trabahong kukunin Ito ang katangiang wala ang Pilipinas
Ay para sa mga kanluranin Kaya sa kahirapa'y 'di makatakas
Nasaan ang pag-unlad? Ang tagal na nating umiimpas
Kung mga Pilipino'y sa ibang bansa'y lilipad? Kailan kaya ito magwawakas?
Thailand, Japan pati na China Ito ang patunay na ang mismong wika
Korea, Cambodia at Indonesia ang magpapaunlad sa isang bansa
Alam mo ba ang kanilang sikreto? kawawa naman ang wika ko,
Kung bakit maunlad silang totoo? Hindi minamahal ng mga Pilipino!
