THE OFFICIAL QUADRICENTENNIAL SONG
AKO’Y
ISANG TOMASINO
Gerardo de Leon
Nalagpasan mo ang mga pagsubok
‘Di mabilang na mga bagyo
Kahit ilang baha man ang danasin
Kasaysayan mo’y hindi kayang anurin
Ang iyong sahig, dingding, mga pintuan
Saksi sa ‘yong dakilang nakaraan
Tinamnan nang tama puso’t isipan
Mga bayaning sa silong mo ay nanahan
Nag-iisa ka lang
Pinagpalang Pamantasan
Apat na siglo nang
Nagtuturo sa kabataan
Pagmamahal sa Diyos,
Karunungang may dangal
Ako’y nagagalak matawag na
Isang Tomasino!
Ang ngalan mo’y nadudungisan
Ilan mang siglo pa ang magdaan
Dahil ang Diyos ika’y iniingatan
Tunay kang binasbasang paaralan
Nag-iisa ka lang
Pinagpalang Pamantasan
Apat na siglo nang
Nagtuturo sa kabataan
Pagmamahal sa Diyos,
Karunungang may dangal
Ako’y nagagalak matawag na
Isang Tomasino!
Nag-iisa ka lang
Pinagpalang Pamantasan
Nagsisilbi sa kapwa,
Naglilingkod sa bayan
Nagmamahal sa Diyos
May karunungan, may dangal
Ako’y nagagalak
Ako’y isang Tomasino!
Tomasino…
