Canto De María Clara
Poetry by Jose Rizal
Music by Clementine
Dulces las horas en la propia patria
Donde es amigo cuanto alumbra el sol,
Vida es la brisa que en sus campos vuela,
Grata la muerte y más tierno el amor!
Ardientes besos en los labios juegan,
De una madre en el seno al despertar,
Buscan los brazos a ceñir el cuello,
Y los ojos sonríense al mirar.
Dulce es la muerte por la propia patria,
Donde es amigo cuanto alumbra el sol;
Muerte es la brisa para quien no tiene
Una patria, una madre y un amor!

Maria Clara is a character in Jose Rizal’s novel “Noli Me Tangere.” She is the sweetheart of Ibarra Crisostomo. Later, upon hearing of his death, she becomes a nun. The poem can be found on Chapter 23 and is translated in different languages. Jose Rizal is the National Hero of the Philippines.
Here is an English translation i found on the web.
THE SONG OF MARIA CLARA
Sweet are the hours in one’s own Native Land,
All there is friendly o’er which the sun shines above;
Vivifying is the breeze that wafts over her fields;
Even death is gratifying and more tender is love.
Ardent kissed on a mother’s lips are at play,
On her lap, upon the infant child’s awakening,
The extended arms do seek her neck to entwine,
And the eyes at each other’s glimpse are smiling.
It is sweet to die for one’s Native Land,
All there is friendly o’er which the sun shines above;
And deathly is the breeze for one without
A country, without a mother and without love.
wow! sir clem i never thought you are patriotic too. You gave honor to our national hero.
sir..i just want to ask of did rizal done these poem “the song of maria clara
