On March 16, 1521
When Philippines was discovered by MagellanThey were sailing day and night, across the big oceanUntil they saw a small Limasawa island
Magellan landed in Limasawa at noonThe people met him very welcome on the shoreThey did not understand the speaking they have doneBecause Kastila gid at Waray-Waray man
When Magellan landed in Cebu CityRajah Humabon met him, they were very happyAll people were baptized and built the church of ChristAnd that’s the beginning of our Catholic life
When Magellan visited in MactanTo Christianize them everyoneBut Lapulapu met him on the shoreAnd drive Magellan to go back home
Then Magellan got so madOrdered his men to camouflage“Mactan island, we could not grab‘Cause Lapulapu is very hard”
Then the battle began at dawnBolos and spears versus guns and cannonsWhen Magellan was hit on his neckHe stumbled down and cried and cried
Oh, mother, mother, I am sickCall the doctor very quickDoctor, doctor, shall I die?Tell my mama, “Do not cry”Tell my mama, “Do not cry”Tell my mama, “Do not cry”
That’s the end of Magellan in the island of MactanLong time ago, ladies and gentlemen
