SANTA ROSA HYMN
Lyrics by Constancio C. Alignay
Music by Mario D. Alojado
Ikaw Santa Rosa
Pinagpalang bayan
Munting Paraiso
Ng kaligayahan
Tulad ng Diwatang
Napaliligiran
Ng Batis, ng Lakas
At bukal ng buhay
Magdiwang ka Santa Rosa
Magsaya ka at umawit
Pasalamat sa Biyaya
At kalinga nitong Langit
Idalangin kay Bathala
Na ligaya'y lumawig
Mamalagi munting Eden
Nakalutang sa pag-ibig.
Magdiwang ka Santa Rosa
Magsaya ka at umawit
Pasalamat sa Biyaya
At kalinga nitong Langit
Idalangin kay Bathala
Na ligaya'y lumawig
Mamalagi munting Eden
Nakalutang sa pag-ibig.
Note:
There is a difference in the original lyrics of the song, by former Councilor Constancio Alignay and Maestro Mario Alojado, with the lyrics shown above. This is because the version with the first line, "Ikaw Santa Rosa", is more popular with teachers and students.
The "Santa Rosa" was composed by Constancio C. Alignay and arranged by Mario D. Alojado into music during 1969. This is a dedicated work of the two to their beloved land Santa Rosa. In the song, Mr. Alignay described the town as simple, yet rich in resources. He also wanted to express that the people of Santa Rosa was so blessed in their land, and the best way to show ones gratitude is through thanking Him for everything - their land, their jobs and blessings received and their lives- thus, bringing happiness to every Roseñan.
