Majulah Singapura
My Beloved Homeland
Musical Arrangement: Isaac Low
Lyrics: Chong Choon Lee
Tiny fingers in roughened hand
Along the five-foot way, we went
Safe with Grandpa, by my side
Hand in hand, stride by stride
Fifty years I waved goodbye
All those memories passing by
Grandpa would not recognize
Those gardens in the sky
Chorus:
The red
The white
The crescent moon
The stars are five
Each a decade, thus we have survived
The red
The white
The crescent moon
The stars are five
Five hundred more years! We won’t be denied!
Many are the hands that toiled
Hearts that beat with fear and joy
Your steps that led the way ahead
Now they lead me home instead
I look above, the star-lit night
And down to gaze the boulevard
My li’l ones, they skip and run
Without worry or want
Chorus:
One Nation, our pride, one future in our hands
We’ll brave the world now and to come,
On my beloved homeland, I stand!
Final Chorus:
The red
The white
The crescent moon
The stars are five
Each a decade, thus we have survived
Our hearts
Our minds
Our spirit strong
Our will to strive
Five hundred more years! We won’t be denied!
