The love for my country runs deep in my veins,
Her rivers and deserts are my life and my dreams.
She has lived out through the pain of the death of her people,
She lives through drought, war and rains.
She survived the attack of the white men in 1787,
She fought back with all of her might.
She will be here forever more in my heart,
With her bravery, strength and might.
For she is kind, soft hearted and beautiful,
And she is the love of my life.
My country is my hero,
The only one that shines in my eyes.
She will stand up forever,
An angel in the skies.
As the love for my country runs deep in my heart,
And it shall be there for ever more.
