SAMPAGUITA 
(La Flor de Manila)


Lyrics by Levi Celerio

Sampaguita ng aming lipi,
bulaklak na sakdal ng yumi
Ikaw ang mutyang pinili
Na sagisag ng aming lahi,

At ang kulay mong binusilak
Ay diwa ng aming pangarap,
Ang iyong bango't halimuyak
Sa tuwina'y aming nilalanghap.

O bulaklak, na nagbibigay ligaya,
O! paraluman, mutyang Sampaguita,
Larawang mistula ng mga dalaga;
Ikaw ang tanging bituin
Hiraman ng kanilang ganda.

Ang iyong talulot
Ang siyang tunay na sagisag
Ng sa dalagang puso'y wagas,
Kayumian at pagkamatapat.

SAMPAGUITA (English Version)
Lovely bloom of the Sampaguita
By my Philippine maid beloved,
Not a flow'r in the world is sweeter
As you circle her lovely brow!

In the daintiest collar clinging,
With one bud like a pendant swinging,
Round the neck of the gentle and beautiful one,
How happy and fortunate now!

Beautiful flow'r Enchantment of fair Manila
With happiness fill her,
O bright Sampaguita Beautiful flow'r
O rest on her hair so lightly!

Softly caressing, touch her with blessing
Dear Sampaguita flow'r Green of the Garden!
Beloved symbol of my dear maiden,
Pure Sampaguita, Entreat her to smile again
My flow'r of flow'rs

SPANISH VERSION
I
Sampaguita gentil que halagas
con tu aroma mi filipina,
sampaguita flor peregrina
¡ay!, que en tus trenzas bordando estás.

Tú que en breve collar prendida
dulce besas su ardiente seno,
quien pudiera de amor lleno,
flor venturosa tú, y cual tú y gozar.

Dichosa tú que al perfumar el viento
tu aroma y su aliento confúndense al par.
Dichosa tú que en lánguido embeleso
darle ha acostumbrado un beso,
su boca inquieta llena de afán.

Flor de las flores,
tesoro hermoso de hondos amores.
¡Ay quien pudiera, flor pura, por verte así,
así cual tú y gozar!

II
[ De Manila flor hechicera,
de ella encanto y envidia mía,
sampaguita feliz que un día
ay!, prenda fuiste de mi pasión.

Si de dicha y pasión tus hojas
marchitarse en su seno visten,
juzga cuanto mi pecho triste
de celos viéndote, ay!, sufrió.]

Ay ve a calmar a este pecho que se agita,
feliz sampaguita, más feliz que yo.
Ve a acariciar con tu halago su cabello,
corre a ceñir su cuello mientras de gloria
muero de amor.

Flor peregrina que adora tanto la filipina,
ay quien pudiera,
flor pura, por verte así,
así cual tú y morir.

Sampaguita is the national flower of the Philippines, my ancestral home. Sampaguita's distinct sweet, heady fragrance is its unique feature. The essential oil from the flowers is similar to jasmin. Sampaguita was imported into the Philippines in the 17th century from the Himalayan areas. The Sampaguita is a native part of the Philippine landscape for centuries. The plant is originally from India and is grown throughout India today. 
The haunting melody was composed at the turn of the century by Filipino composer Dolores Paterno and performed by Filipino Classical Guitarist Michael Dadap. The images used in the video are paintings of the famous Filipino painter Fernando Amorsolo (1892-1972).
