Mother, I bow to you, Mother, I bow.
Mother, I bow to you, Mother, I bow.
Waters of life, abundant yield, breezes of the south, so cool,
Waters of life, abundant yield, breezes of the south, so cool,
Fields of green, a mother's embrace, Mother, Mother, Mother.
Mother, I bow to you, Mother, I bow.
Mother, I bow to you.

Moonlit nights, trembling with delight,
Trees adorned with blossoms bright,
Smiling face, a voice of pure light,
Bestower of joy, giver of grace, Mother.
Mother, I bow to you, Mother, I bow.
Mother, I bow to you.

Seventy million throats, a chorus so grand,
With twice that many arms, sword held in hand,
Who dares to call her weak, this land?
We bow to the strong, the savior's hand,
She shields us from the foe, Mother, Mother.
Mother, I bow to you, Mother, I bow.
