Who are you my country?
More than celebrations and tears.
More than memories put together,
or the summing up of years.
I see you enduring all
weathers,
sunshine and storms at your heart;
in your face the lines ever changing
tell the story where I have a part.
As a new chapter begins
from where we have come thus far,
once again may it be written:
you are who we are.
In you may we see ourselves,
your needs, your strengths, in us,
that the work for freedom and peace
is mine as much as ours.
You, my people, my home,
our lives defend and uphold;
may the good we achieve as one nation
be shared with the world
