Happy Fatimah stood entranced by the
Gentle rain brushing her hair,
The butterfly batik fluttering in the breeze,
The jaunty songkok beckoning cheerfully,
Susie Wong's silky cheongsam shimmering
In the red lantern light by the lilypond,
Rani's rainbow saree cascading east and west.
Debonair men clad in chic dinner jackets
All was colour pleasant and peaceful
When the dragonfly kissed the flame of the forest and flashed
A glimpse of paradise,a taste of heaven.
With a dashing dark moustache,
The cup of nectar in hand,
And a twinkle in his laughing eye,
All is for the best, declared the Happy Prince,
In this best of all possible worlds,
Love to all from Jalur Gemilang.
The snake charmer danced with his snakes
Swaying to their colourful rythms
And to the call to prayer
From mosque, temples and churches.
We are free, We are free Merdeka
Declared the Father of the Nation,
And the people pierced
The silence of the night with thunderous
Merdeka, Merdeka, Great Tuanku, Merdeka.
God gave the land
Barisan the hand of destiny,
For peace and plenty.
And all learnt to tread gently on their dreamland.
Dauntless Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
Touched by the hand of God
Mighty efforts made
To enrich our days with peace and plenty.
May God walk and talk with him
All the way to his golden 2020 Vision.
Long live the gentle people of Malaysia,
Long live the hibiscus,
The tiger and the pelandok.
Long live timeless Golden Chersonese.
