We are obliged to almighty
For our food and shelter!
We are gratified our supreme
Who caring us
From the infinity of sky,
From the top of mountain,
From the intimate green of forest,
From the profound blue of water
For our vigour and glee!
Let us come up to
Sprawling green under the unwrapped sky
Craft it an asylum
For all of us
Implore to fortitude of Boori Boot
To live together!
Let us rejoice in concert
For spring and new cycle of harvest!
