Isle of the Eastern Seas

by: Macario T. Arcilla
(Virac - English Version)

Isle of the eastern seas
Where the morning sunbeams
creeping in the trees
Land of the sun-caressed
So free and so lovingly sweet
Home sweet home
Under the summer skies
Where the fragrant roses
Blooming on the vales

Refrain:

Dear Catanduanes
Bring me back to thee
Home of joy and people free.

Come now, O, Come
My love to Catanduanes, our home
Calling bitter life to pleasure and ease
With a love so true and tenderly sweet
(Yes my love)

Yonder our way
the thrill of the land of the sun-carressed
(repeat refrain)
