[Verse]
   D
On March Sixteen Fifteen Hundred Twenty One
                                    A
When Philippines was discovered by Magellan
            G
They were sailing day and night
 D               Bm
Across the big ocean
  Em               A7       D
Until they saw a small Limasawa island

    D
Magellan landed in Limasawa at noon
                               A
The people met him very welcome on the shore
      G
They did not understand
     D                Bm
The speaking they have done
      Em         A7            D
Because Kastila gid at Waray Waray man

   D
When Magellan landed in Cebu City
                                  A
Rajah Humabon met him they were very happy
     G
All people were baptized
     D                  Bm
And built the church of Christ
      Em            A7              D
And that's the beginning of our Catholic life

 D7                G
When Magellen visited Mactan
                        D
To Christianize them everyone
                   A 
But Lapu Lapu met him on the shore
                       D
And drive Magellan to go back home

 D7             G
Then Magellan got so mad
                        D
Ordered his men to camouflage
Bm                   Em
"Mactan Island we could not grab
A7                    D
Cause Lapu Lapu is very hard"

 D7                G
Then the battle began at dawn
                       D
Bolos and spears versus guns and cannons
                  Em
When Magellan was hit on his neck
A7                    D
He stumble down and cried and cried

  D7                  G
"Oh mother, mother, I am sick
                D
Call the doctor very quick
                A
Doctor, Doctor shall I die
             D
Tell my Mama do not cry
A7             D
Tell my Mama do not cry
A7             D          D break
Tell my Mama do not cry"

That's the end of Magellan 
In the island of Mactan 
                                   D hold
Long time ago ladies and gentlemen
