SAGUDAY (Lyrics and Chords)

Ila-ila-ilalay, ila-ila-ilalay (2x) (Am-C-G-Am)

It’s amazing how we still apply the vast knowledge (Am-C)
Bestowed by ancestors, an ample heritage (G-Am)
The legacy left behind by domains are seen upright (F-C-Am)
Moral values, justice systems, begets harmonious land (G-Am-G-Am)

Chorus:

Oh, behold this native land (F-C)
They deserve to be recognized (G-Am)
Be secured in asserting their rights (F-G-Am)
The natural resources (F-G)
Be maintained and protected (Dm-Am)
Oh, the land, the waters, and the people (F-G-Am)

Native people had their own civilization (Am-C)
Long before the colonizers came into our land (G-Am)
They yield music through their gongs (F)
Some designed from various woods (C-Am)
Fashion’s prim, and G-Strings, a simple elegance (G-Am-G-Am)

Contentment with what they have, industry and kindness (Am-C)
Religious and spiritual beliefs, this culture is preserved (G-Am)
These folks have unity, they have sense of dignity (F-C-Am)
Women have self-respect, they’re modest in their ways (G-Am-G-Am)

Adlib: Ila-ila-ilalay, ila-ila-ilalay (2x) (Am-C-G-Am)
