Editor,

We the people of The Gambia
The Smiling Coast, blessed with fertile land and river
Where the sky is the limit for education
We thank God for that glorious Friday
July 22nd 1994

A cool bloodless day of K-man and change for development
Mooh mang faar
Mugosoulou mang kumbooh
Our hopes and dreams rekindled
For all to live in unity, freedom and peace each day
We thank you

Ya Allahu - God the greatest
Ya Rahman - The gracious
Ya Rahim - The merciful
Oh great God of nations

Bless the children of The Gambia
With fruitful knowledge and wisdom
To make The Gambia sunn rew
The nest of peace, hope and glory for humanity
