Igorot Lyrics by Rhoda Bondad.
"Beyond those troubled hills of the north
Lies my hope all laden with pine
Amidst the soft and silken touch
Of morning mist I lay my pr'yer b'fore thy shrine
My pr'yers to Thee my love dressed in green,
My paradise unforeseen
My thanks to Thee who spawned my love
Sagada, Sagada will always be mine
With you, I believe
In a life I can live
With you, I can share
what I have, without care
Isnan ad-ad-dawi ay bilbilig
Isdi nan i-itaw tet-e-wa
Kaneg issan kan-ka-nanda
Ay Shangrila men luwaluwak ken sik-a
Maday-dayaw ay ili natalna
Umeyak ay m'id egyat na
Salamat isnan Dios ay na-napo
Sagada, Sagada ko-ak engana
Ken sik-a, mamati-ak
Isnan biag, matagu-ak
Ken sik-a, makibingay-ak
M'id bali na isnan ko-ak
Beyond those troubled hills of the North
lies my hope all laden with pine
Amidst the soft and silken touch
of morning mist I lay my pr'yer b'fore thy shrine
My thanks to Thee who spawned my love
Sagada, Sagada will always be mine "

The Sagada Hymn in YouTube
There is a video clip of the Sagada Hymn in YouTube. While this is far from the best that I've heard the hymn sung,
and there are many typos in the subtitle, it has to be given kudos for the attempt.
It is still the only available video/audio file that I have seen in the Internet.
