By Rondell Donawa

Spoken: This song is dedicated to all the youths of Trinidad and Tobago. The future leaders of this great nation. Let's go!

Fifty years ago, Capildeo and Williams
Went to Marlborough House up there in England
From the inception to anointed leaders
Lay the foundation - our founding fathers
Yes, they played their part, they provide the start
For youths like you and me, they left us us with a grand legacy.

On the young people shoulder we carrying the future
With baton in hand, we running hard for we land
On the young people shoulder we carrying the future
We will bear the weight to carry the ship of state.

Celebration time, celebration time, celebration time
This is a Jubilee lime!
Celebration time, celebration time, celebration time
This is a Jubilee lime!

Every patriot know it is we duty
To lift and support motherland T&T
Our attitude to our predecessors must be gratitude
For they toiled and laboured
As this nation grows every youth here knows and have to understand
The mantle is in our hands.

On the young people shoulder we carrying the future
Under Red, White and Black, we'll never be turning back
On the young people shoulder we carrying the future
Let everybody know, we committed to Trinbago.

Celebration time, celebration time, celebration time

And open up a new world for every young boy and girl.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Rondell Donawa.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
