Happy Birthday Singapore

I managed to rush home in time to catch Corrine May singing the NDP 2010 song. (I admit I missed out the front part on those army and marching and MPs coming in but well better late than never right?)

And I started thinking, why did I never take it seriously to understand my National Anthem. So I decided today, I will find out what exactly is the meaning of my National Anthem.

Mari kita rakyat Singapura
Sama-sama menuju bahagia
Cita-cita kita yang mulia
Berjaya Singapura

Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura

Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura


Come, fellow Singaporeans
Let us progress towards happiness together
May our noble aspiration bring
Singapore success

Come, let us unite
In a new spirit
Let our voices soar as one
Onward Singapore
Onward Singapore

Come, let us unite
In a new spirit
Let our voices soar as one
Onward Singapore
Onward Singapore
