Any nationן¿½s flag, bears its own color

The sky (above us), does ours look like

Defects it has none; love it with candor

Oh you White Star, at your service we are

Superior you are, in any part of our land

Be famous oh Star, like the sun (of the far)

On the day you arose, our hearts you have

Purified with pureness, (Oh you our flag)

Lord may not dim you, pray we in this night

The detached part of, our forces of five

I beseech from God, their return you cause

This fate that wrote, for us to meet now
