Puluy-an ka sang mga dungganon
Guindihon sa imong gugmang bilidhon
Namat-an sang mga baganihan
Nakigbato para sa kahilwayan

Dunang manggad sa amon guin-aman
Manggaran sa kulturang kinaadman
May maragtas nga madinu-agon
Bulawanon ang mga palanubli-on


Koro:
Iloilo, Iloilo
Dakbanwa kong nahamut-an
Iloilo, Iloilo
Bugal magpadulong diin man
Tampad nga magpabilin sa imo
Tungod palangga ko
Dakbanwang Iloilo, bugal ko!

Himpit nga gugma sa imo halad
Sakdagon ang imong katuyuan
Itib-ong ang kauswagan
Padayun nga angkunon ang katin-aran

Matam-is nga pulong ang amon guinmat-an
Indi ko ikaw bulagan
Banwa kong nahamut-an

Bug-os ang kalipay

Dali na sa duog nga luyag ko pagapuy-an
Hiyas man o bulawan indi gid matupungan
Madamo nga tinuig na nga sya naligaran
Daw sang-una kun imo madum-duman

Indi ka gid malimtan kung ikaw ang makit-an
Puno ka sang madamo nga handumanan..ooooh

I
Hurry to the place I want to live
Jewel or gold cannot equal
So many years that has passed
Looks like before if you remember

Just because of love and of the beauty
You were born shrouded with mystery
You will never be forgotten when I see you
You are full of memories... ohhh....

Iloilo beloved hometown
Where will you bring me
Land of dreams
You captured my heart
When will you remember me

So many years has been chronicled
Peace and calmness of feeling I wanted to have
Will your hands be the one to cure me... ohh
