Answer (1)
Bridges of the Southeast / Mga Tulay ng Timog-Silangan(English)Beneath the golden sun of Indonesia’s sky,Temples whisper tales where old spirits lie,From Thailand’s shores where monks still pray,To streets where Western songs softly sway.Islamic domes in moonlight gleam,Hindu-Buddhist carvings tell their dream,Cultures weave a tapestry wide,Binding hearts from every tide.(Filipino)Sa ilalim ng araw ng Indonesia’t Thailand,Sumasayaw ang kasaysayan sa bawat lupang mahal,Sa himig ng gitara’t kulintang na wagas,Pinagsama ang silangan at kanluran sa iisang lakad.May moske’t masjid na sa gabi’y kumikislap,At templong nagkukwento ng lumang pangarap,Pamanang katutubo, kay gandang pakinggan,Nagbubuo ng Timog-Silangang pagkakaisa’t dangal.
