I
Namibia is my most beloved country,
Like it is a marvellous Beulah land
With a mighty will, great glory
So, be glorified, my free Motherland.
From red sand deserts to the shining shores
And the sun gives me its setting,
Echoes of the seagulls melodied its choruses,
Masterpiece of Paradise is mesmerizing.
II
Wisdom of the people is ancestor-given
As whose blood waters our freedom is glorified,
Their heroism is unforgotten
And the blessing of diverse culture is bespoken.
What makes me so proud today?
Being a Namibian and free is what I cherish
My love for the Motherland is displayed everyday
May the dreams of my country flourish.
Feature cannot function
Humanity one more level
Yet all is unseen
The problems dwell
Partial gesticulation
Fungi never grow tall
Subjugation kicks in
Avenging the tall
An eye cannot lighten
An ear indifferent to all
A cranium starved of brain
A tongue talks it all
The skin appeals stain
A nose cannot repel
The grime & unclean!
Entire entity just a scandal.
Namibia my country my pride
I shall forever be by your side
The landscapes and people are the things I adore
But there is still more to explore in store
Through the pain strain and vain
I still remain focused to maintain my nation
The future is growing near and it’s clear
As a country we approach it with no fear
My desire is to inspire this Namibian empire
And light a fire in the valley of success
So all citizens will be able to express
Their minds ideology into a clear psychology
All we need is unity, stability and the ability
To strive for opportunity in every community
What's the need of a resolution?
In life's solution
Always changes but compliments rotation
As I look around the location
I feel a sense of upliftment...
This is my home, gives me protection
They say it's full of corruption
But everyday is a new edition
Somethin' new, always happenin'
Like township music rocks, jammin'...
The feelin' I get when I walk the street
Makes me feel collected
Brings back the sensation
That triggers the vibration
And plants a seed of inspiration...
For my dreams, I envision
And there is no confusion...
That I'm back
And I'm proud to be Namibian!
