I O Ziaraat, o bejeweled land O, your soil is the wellspring of virtues Far from you may the thoughts of evil be May the head of Gondwana be ever lasting O enemy, if you are of stone, I am of steel May my life be sacrificed for the sword of my motherland Chorus Since your love became my calling My thoughts are never far from you My life is not worthy of your cause May the land of our Ziaraat be eternal II The stones of your mountains are jewels and pearls The soil of your valleys are better than gold When could I rid my heart of your affection? Tell me, what will I do without your affection? As long as the heavens revolve The light of Yazadaw will always guide us Chorus III Ziaraat, o my green paradise Bright is my fate because of you If fire rains on my body Your love will never escape my heart Your water, soil and love molded my clay If your love leaves my heart it will become barren Chorus |
