O my country my countryA
How long I for theeA
Far over the mountainB
Far over the seaA
Where the sweet JolibaC
Kisses the shoreD
Say shall I wanderE
By thee never moreD
Where the sweet Joliba kisses the shoreD
Say shall I wander by thee never moreD
-
Say O fond ZurimaF
Where dost thou stayG
Say doth anotherE
List to thy sweet layG
Say doth the orange stillH
Bloom near our cotI
Zurima ZurimaF
Am I forgotI
O my country my country how long I for theeA
Far over the mountain far over the seaA
-
Under the baobabC
Oft have I sleptJ
Fanned by sweet breezesK
That over me sweptJ
Often in dreamsL
Do my weary limbs layG
'Neath the same baobabC
Far far awayG
O my country my country how long I for theeA
Far over the mountain far over the seaA
-
O for the breathM
Of our own waving palmF
Here as I languishN
My spirit to calmF
O for a draughtO
From our own cooling lakeP
Brought by sweet motherE
My spirit to wakeP
O my country my country how long I for theeA
Far over the mountain far over the seaA
