THE LAND OF WEALTH AND FAME.
I am the land of wealthy-fame
Abounding in a wealth so tamed.
My name mentioned, even by the lay
And more by sages.
Abounding in a wealth so tamed.
My name mentioned, even by the lay
And more by sages.
I am the land of wealthy-fame: with
rich minerals resources abounding in my soil.
My children explore and exploit;
And till and extract without toil.
rich minerals resources abounding in my soil.
My children explore and exploit;
And till and extract without toil.
Blessed...blessed indeed I am , that
My wealth reaches the other subordinates of the motherland.
Blessed indeed.
My wealth reaches the other subordinates of the motherland.
Blessed indeed.
My children walk gallantly with glorious hopes
Yet, with heart-sickening souls they mourn.
Why ?. 'cause they are unkempt;
Thus, they weep.
Yet, with heart-sickening souls they mourn.
Why ?. 'cause they are unkempt;
Thus, they weep.
Oh! Oh! My children:
I know all you crave for,
Just a little comfort; yes,
That I know.
I know all you crave for,
Just a little comfort; yes,
That I know.
I am the land of wealthy-fame
With a plight so taint;
My roads untarred , my city unkept.
Why ?. 'cause I miss a hero
With a plight so taint;
My roads untarred , my city unkept.
Why ?. 'cause I miss a hero
A hero of the gone ages. A hero of the day and all I ’ve crave for. The songs of a hero , when my children will sing through ages with smiling faces.
When?.
