Dios dunami forsa pa mi biba
Dios dunami forsa pa mi tra’
Trahando duru, mi por logra hopi
Yudando mi pais p’e progresá
Dios lagami bira independiente
Si mi sa bon ki e lo nifiká
Mi tin ku tra’ mi tin ku ba’ mi tin ku siña kooperá
Si no mañan ta mi mes ta mal para
Mi tin ku planta sembra kos mi mes
Mi tin ku resolvé problema
Mi tin ku baha mi nivel di bida
Mi n’ por dispidí
Dios dunami un bon ortografia
Pa mi skibi m’ idioma mas mihó
Mi tin ku tra’ mi tin ku ba’ mi tin ku stòp di envidiá
Sino mañan ta nos tur ta mal pará |
God, give me strength to live. God, give me strength to work, working hard I will be able to achieve a lot. Helping my country to move ahead.
God, give me my independence, if only I knew what that meant.
I’ll have to work and I’ll have to be humble and I’ll have to learn how to co-operate because if I don’t, my future won’t be bright.
I’ll have to plant and I’ll have to harvest. I’ll have to resolve problems. I’ll have to lower my standard of living and I can’t afford to squander.
God, give me a good orthography so I can improve on writing my language.
I’ll have to work and I’ll have to be humble and I’ll have to stop envying others, because if I don’t, our future won’t be bright. |
