A new beginning that is drawing near,
Another chance to for us to use time's gift,
To give our hopes and dreams a powerful lift,

Mother, you truly have a golden heart,
You walked me through my first steps for my life to start,

Malaysia, the blessed land from God above,
Many have given their lives for this land in which i lived and grew,
To protect it courage within and weapons our soldiers drew,

Do not be ruled, courage and handwork is the key,
Do not let your parents force a career for your life,
Do not let them force you pick a husband or a wife,
