[Verse 1]
On March 16, 1521
When Philippines was discovered by Magellan
They were sailing day and night across the big ocean
Until they saw a small Limasawa island

[Verse 2]
Magellan landed in Limasawa at noon
The people met him very welcome on the shore
They did not understand the speaking they have done
Because Kastila gid at Waray-Waray man

[Verse 3]
When Magellan landed in Cebu City
Rajah Humabon met him, they were very happy
All people were baptized and built the church of Christ
And that's the beginning of our Catholic life

[Verse 4]
When Magellan visited in Mactan
To Christianize them everyone
But Lapu-Lapu met him on the shore
And drive Magellan to go back home

[Verse 5]
Then Magellan got so mad
Ordered his men to camouflage
"Mactan island we could not grab
'Cause Lapu-Lapu is very hard"
[Verse 6]
Then the battle began at dawn
Bolos and spears versus guns and cannons
When Magellan was hit on his neck
He stumbled down and cried and cried

[Verse 7]
Oh, mother, mother, I am sick
Call the doctor very quick
Doctor, doctor, shall I die?
Tell my mama, do not cry
Tell my mama, do not cry
Tell my mama ,do not cry

[Outro]
That's the end of Magellan
In the island of Mactan, long time ago
Ladies and gentlemen
