Huzzah, huzzah, youth it leaps and bounds,
Huzzah, huzzah, youth in waves resounds.
Huzzah, huzzah, youth it leaps and bounds,
Huzzah, huzzah, youth in waves resounds.

Day and night, the house, a fortress built,
Day and night, by elders, shadows spilt.
On every door, a lock, a whispered plea,
Yet youth's defiance, wild and ever free, huzzah!
Huzzah, huzzah, youth it leaps and bounds,
Huzzah, huzzah, youth in waves resounds.

Though veils are drawn, by a thousand hands,
Though veils are drawn, across the shifting sands,
The heart will tremble, at a whispered sound,
The heart will tremble, on sacred ground.
In secret, youth, a serpent's bite imparts, huzzah!
Huzzah, huzzah, youth it leaps and bounds,
Huzzah, huzzah, youth in waves resounds.

Mocking tongues, from strangers and from kin,
Mocking tongues, where true love hides within,
They cannot know, the heart's unspoken plea,
They cannot know, true love's decree.
They feed the fire, that burns with silent might, huzzah!
Huzzah, huzzah, youth it leaps and bounds,
Huzzah, huzzah, oh, youth in waves resounds.
