Mama | K |
Range of hills surround your harbour | J |
Portraying the natural beauty of your kingdom | L |
A nation decorated with customs traditions and adorable cultures | A |

Enjoy to the melodious tunes of the gumbe and bata | M |
As we dance with our elegant country cloth ronko and lappa | N |

Long live our motherland | M |

Firm may she ever stand | M |
