JUBILATION TIME IN TRINBAGO
By Mohip Poonwassie
Sabase nache, dholak bajaye
Sabase nache, dholak bajaye
Let's celebrate today our Independence Day
It's jubilation time in Trinbago
Everyone celebrating for so
From Mayaro to Toco, Los Iros to Scarborough
We dancing to chutney and calypso.
In 1962, fifty years aback
We national flag flew as they lowered the Union Jack
United as one as the anthem was sung
For the declaration at President's Ground

The whole country join in celebration,
Finally independent nation
The whole country join in celebration,
Finally independent nation.

Mih aji used to say, "Don't be ungrateful
For what we have today we must be thankful.
Remember Papa Willy - Father of the Nation
Sir Clark and Hassanali, men of great vision."

Sir Clark and Hassanali, men of great vision
They lay the foundation years ago
For the propagation of Trinbago

Asphalt and oil, sugar, sand and sea
We country's rich soil boost the economy
Our sport ambassadors and diverse culture
We culinary flavours make us so popular

A Note From The Gull
Thank you, Mohip Poonwassie, for this sweet song celebrating our nation.
"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!
Guanaguanare
