The Provincial Hymn
Banwa na Madayaw
listen
O probinsya nami na mahal
Sang subangan ng Dabaw
Ban-wa kaw na madayaw,
yanaguyon yang utaw
Malipayon kay palangga kaw ng Dios.
Mataba yang kalupaan mo
Yang tanom mabungahon
Dagat mo, mga suba madaigay yang isda
Kabuhian, kawilihan ng tanan.
O mahal na Dabaw Oryental
Langit mo mapawaay
Yang kabutayan, yang kapatagan
Mayamanay, magandahay.
Maski hain pa kami kumadto
Kami mo-uli ani kanmo
Garbo nami na Dabawenyo
Yang pagserbi sang kadyawan mo.
