I.
From the heights and grandeur of Mayon
Unto the depths and soul of the sea
Rich with Nature's best, vast and fertile land
All the seeds of hope are sown
II.
Tested our blades were sharpened
Stronger faith, living hope, enduring love
Let us rise and walk tall and with pride let us move
Tabaqueños we are one
Chorus:
Go! Tabaco City
Grow! Tabaco City
Go Tabaqueño grow!
Let us heed the call
Let us raise our hands now
Pledge to work with love
Let one vision lead us on
In surpassing all
(Repeat Chorus)

It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.”
