[Translation from original Mandinka lyrics]
[Intro]
Peace knows stability and progress welcomes it
[Verse 1]
Hospitality, happiness feel the faces of the country
The Gambia is a good country
Where ever you are, never let yourself forget
Your homeland Gambia
Truth is, if you forget your homeland
It means you forgot yourself
[Chorus 1]
We are proud, I am proud of my country...
We are proud...
[Interlude]
Let's come together and be united for
That's the way forward and benefit for all
[Chorus 2]
Where are the people of the world? This is a beautiful country
Where are the people of the world? This is a peaceful country
Where are the people of the Gambia? This is my country
Where are the people of the Gambia? This is hard to find!
[Verse 2]
It is blessed, that is why people respect her
It's honored, that is why people should not forget
This beautiful country
Citizens of the country, let's come, join together! (*claps*)
Honestly, I do not regret being a citizen of this country at all
When I travel the world, I'll tell the beauty of this country
There is no place like the Gambia
[Chorus 2]
Where are the people of the Gambia? This is a beautiful country. Where are the people of Gambia? This peaceful country
This is our country, where are the people of Gambia?
This is hard to find!
This is hard to find!
This is hard to find!
This is hard to find!
[Bridge]
It is Gambia!
It is Gambia I am singing about!
It is Gambia!
It is Gambia I am singing about!
It is Gambia!
It is Gambia I am singing about!
It is Gambia!
It is Gambia I am singing about!
[Outro]
Peace is home
Hospitality is home
Stability is home
Family is home
Blessing is home
Honor is home...
Even God blesses Gambia...
Family values, oh Gambia!
