La Union Hymn Region 1, Oh Region 1
Composer : Primitivo Acosta
Dearest home by far to me
Where is the place where one could
find refuge,
through wooded hills and verdant From her care I learn my lessons
rolling fields?
In her vales I work and play
Where is that place with bubbling
brooks and rivers? She has kept me safe and happy
Where is that place? As I live on day by day
Oh where is that place!
Tho' to other lands I wander
Where can one find birds singing all
day? As I search for wealth and fame
Where do the waves roll on so silvery? In my heart I will remember
Where does the sunset spread its Region 1 beloved name
golden beauty?
Where is that place?
La Union my beloved! Region 1, Oh Region 1
There's no better place I see
Refrain: Region 1, Oh Region 1
Dearest home by far to me
God Bless the people
of fair La Union!
Keep us from harm and fill our hearts Tho' to other lands I wander
with love As I search for wealth and fame
Let no one seek In my heart I will remember
to break the cord that binds us!
Region 1 beloved name
God Bless La Union
OUR own HOME! Region 1, Oh Region 1
There's no better place I see
Region 1, Oh Region 1
Region I : Ilocos Region Hymn Dearest home by far to me
From the mountains and the rivers
Thro the plains and winding trails
Region 1, Oh Region 1
To the shores where breezes linger
There's no better place I see
That's the place I love so well
Region 1, Oh Region 1
Dearest home by far to me
It's the home of men who loved her
Men who died to keep us free
Men who toiled tho' bad the weather
That in want we'll never be
Region 1, Oh Region 1
There's no better place I see
