Lyrics:
-
Let us keep the faith
The dawn will soon break
Inspite of our doubts
Even as we speak
Our heroes of old
They hoped for the best
Our country will live
And be a great state
-
They fought all their lives
For our native land
They never lost sight
We will have a chance
Throughout the dark nights
They struggled with pride
Hoping that one day
We will all survive
-
And so now today
We can celebrate
One nation that's free
To forge its own fate
Our own destiny
Is in our hands
So let's not let down
Our dear nativeland
-
Today is the day
That we celebrate
So here's to the dawn
For us it shall break
