Tecchilaw - Our motherland

Let's sing.

This land belongs to you

This land belongs to you.

This land belongs to me.

This land belongs to all of us,

to live in harmony ///.

Whatever the race may be

whatever the caste or creed

whatever the colour of our skin

we’re all kith and kin.

North, South, East and West

the parts of one island,

to make it rich and beautiful

let’s lend a helping hand.
