Darling child,
I will ask you something,
tell me, little child.
The land where you were born,
treating it as your mother,
respecting it every single day,
will you earn a good name?
Darling child,
I will ask you something,
tell me, little child.
The land where you were born,
treating it as your mother,
respecting it every single day,
will you earn a good name?
Oh, I will!
Mmm, that's the way to say it!

When you see the poor, what will you think?
Will you wish that they are always smiling?
If you possessed millions in wealth,
if you possessed millions in wealth,
would you give generously with open hands like a true giver?
Would you give generously with open hands like this noble giver?
Oh, I will!
Just like a heart of gold,
seeing the purity in your heart,
I gave my heart away to you.
Darling child,
I will ask you something,
tell me, little child.
The land where you were born,
treating it as your mother,
respecting it every single day,
will you earn a good name?

If enemies come to capture our land,
will you stand at the border and stop them?
Oh, I will!
If they come with weapons to destroy,
if they come with weapons to destroy,
will you walk tall without any fear?
Will you walk tall without any fear?
Oh, I will!
Quick march...
Left, right, left, right, left, right!
Left, right, left, right, left, right!
Tender as a fresh young banana shoot,
with a brave smile upon your face,
let your march go forward to defeat the incoming foes!
