This is a song I learned when I was still in grade school (circa 1980's). It is usually sung during the provincial sports fest also known as Provincial Meet, wherein athletes from the 6 municipalities converge in Basco to compete in different sports events.
Here it goes :)
Beautiful Batanes Isles
Refrain:
Beautiful Batanes Isles
Itbayat, Batan, Sabtang
Beautiful Batanes Isles
Beloved home Batanes Isles
I. Sunkissed islands of Luzon
Breeze caressed by orient seas
Northern door open to all
Is a home land dear to me
II. Forlorn country though they say
Orphan of the motherland
Far away by air and sea
But a home dear home to me
III. Mighty waves and thunder storm
Heavy clouds and stormy skies
All of this may come my way
Still I strive for love of thee
