APAYAO HYMN
APAYAO FOREVER!
Verdant are your mountains
how bountiful your fields and plains
full of life are your rivers clear
Oh, Apayao we hold you dear.
Peace-loving are your people
one in our diversity
our limbs and lives we offer
to keep you forever free.
Refrain:
Forever, Apayao
your beauty so serene
inspires all efforts noble
for you we'll live and dream
secure in nature's bounty
(united by you we will stand)
in harmony we dwell
(God holds you in his hand)
proudly to all the world we proclaim
Apayao, forever!
For your forebear's version
Was a distinct identity
We pledge to keep their dreams alive
Working in peace and harmony.
(Repeat Refrain)
Coda:
Proudly to all the world we proclaim
Apayao, Forever!
