I am truly an Ifugao In heart and soul I will always be Duty bound to serve my people Of the Father Land. I am truly an Ifugao I sing the song Alim and Hudhud There can be no place Like the famous rice terraces Ifugao! there can be no place Like the famous rice terraces Long live in! May you banners fly And you're reach from shore to shore.

Ifugao Hymn O, land of beautiful rice terraces Like stairways reaching the blue We pledge our hearts in true devotion To work for your best, for your sake Refrain: Glory and love to dear Ifugao Your sons will uphold your honors high With knowledge of right and progress in sight We, loyal sons arise To dedicate our lives For Ifugao O’er plains and mountains ever changing From green to deep blue and to gold Let’s keep above our standards flying and let it be shining above (Refrain) O, land of Hudhud and the Alim As sung by forebears of old There stands the hagabi of kadangyans and rich cultures we proudly own (Refrain)

LAMUT HYMN Lamut: The Gateway

ITETEM (Ifugao Folk Song)

Gateway to Ifugao, Land of peace loving people Where unity, peace, and harmony Treasured; As inspired by folks; forever reign Like verdant valleys into yellow Golden grains;

Itetem ta humgopak Te teh ton nakaktolak An nalpuh nidaddawih Nidaddawih dawin boble Itetem, itetem inoh

Refrain: O Lamut dear, we’re fortunate Mem’ries we dedicate for your sake We cherish you wherever we maybe We hail and adore thee; Cozy breathe beneath; the wispy Clouds of heaven Refreshes our metropolitan haven The lush and green forest along Mountain slopes And broad rolling plains, Down the valleys of hope; (Refrain) Vast pasture lands, rich lowland Endowed Mur’muring crystal waters; Folksongs to behold For a brighter tomorrow and hundred Fold This is our ancestral abode. (Refrain)

Dumleg ah ta umbon ta Te the ton nakableyak An nalpuh nidaddawih Nidaddawih dawin boble Dumleg ah dumleg ah inoh Men akkud ah ta mangan tah Te the ton naaganganak An nalpuh nidaddawih Nidaddawih dawin boble Mun akkud mun akkud ah inoh Iyabok muh ta mallok tah Te the ton Makahuyhuyopak An nalpuh nidaddawih Nidaddawih dawin boble Iyabok muh iyabok muh inoh Itetem ta humgopak Te teh ton nakaktolak An nalpuh nidaddawi Nidaddawi dawin boble
