The country where you live
becomes your home soon
faithful you be unto it
never mind your roots
the country of origin has a hold
not too much in the way
the bondage is an affection
not more than that in a play
remember the days you spent
if at all you had lived over there
the adopted one is yours now
you earn our bread over there
provides a shelter to you in short
liberal in its extension
lively in its instigation
well, then be faithful to the land
which had made you grand.
