Verse 1:
When I was young, my father told me
Singapore was a kampong, and nobody could see
How the nation grew, would there be success for you and me?
We looked for stability for our country
Our forefathers struggled through the years
They built a Lion City with blood, sweat and tears
They formed our country and now it has become
A place of prosperity for everyone
Chorus:
I love Singapore, I love Singapore
I’ll give a shout for my homeland Singapore
I love Singapore!
Verse 2:
I walk to the kopitiam, an uncle says to me,
“Would you drink a teh-o or have a kopi-si? “
I sit and enjoy a plate of fried rice,
The nonya kueh is very very nice
My neighbour likes Japanese Curry
My best friend eats vegetarian Thali
My brother likes Korean Kimchi
We are one happy family !
Bridge:
Singapore’s become my own special place
A melting pot of people make up the Singaporean race!
Chorus:
I love Singapore, I love Singapore
I’ll do my best for my homeland Singapore
I love Singapore, Singapore!
