Orang Singapura
(Karya Zubir Said)
Kalau sudah jadi, orang Singapura,
Hati mahu baik, berbudi bahasa.
Mesti tahan lasak, kuat berusaha,
Cukup tatatertib, hormat orang tua.
Barulah orang segan, hormat dengan kita,
Bolehlah dinamakan: orang Singapura.
Jikalau bekerja, janganlah kepalang,
Sanggup tanggungjawab, jangan curi tulang.
Taat dan setia, kepada negara,
Dan begitu pula, pada agama.
Begitu hidup kita, hidup sama-sama,
Barulah kita bangsa: orang Singapura.
Singaporean
(By Zubir Said)
If you are born, a true Singaporean,
Your heart must be kind, filled with courtesy and grace.
You must be hardy and endure, and work hard,
With proper manners, respectful of elders.
Then others will be in awe, respectful of us,
Then we deserve the name: Singaporean.
When you work, don’t be half-hearted,
Be responsible, don’t shirk from duty.
Be loyal and faithful, to the country,
And also not forgetting, to one’s faith.
That is our life, living together,
Then only are we a nation: of true Singaporeans.
