Lyrics By:Salvador "Buddy" M. Robrigado Sr.
Music By: Oscar Reburiano

Polangui cheers all of us know
The life we dream here long ago
From break of dawn 'til evening glow
We live and work forever true.

Industrious all caring and pure
Polangui's heart never stall
Progress and business for one and all
That we may learn an ardent call.

A city of man as it is now
Our lively town has beckon by
Beautiful ladies, hardworking men
Polangui, Polangui, thy only one.

A place of beauty, commerce and song
She holds us dearly happy and strong
Never to falter amidst a storm
For that's Polangui, Polangui
Polangui serving all.

ALBAY FOREVER
Words and Music by Jose Ravalo

There’s a place in Bicol that we hold dear
Land of beauty and laughter and song
Where we see the flowers bloom forever
Haven to all the weary throng

Where stands our Mount Mayon the peerless
Awe inspiring, majestic grand
It’s a place where skies are bluer
This is Albay our own dear land

Bridge:

Thy name will cherish always
No matter where we’ll be
Thy sons shall stand by thee united
Forever loyal to thee
