Children's Day song

[CommanderSlayers]

To actually think everyone in Singapore knows this song for 50 years now, is just phenomenal

Oh the days when I was back in Primary school...we were made to memorise (good luck with that!) and sing this song. 30 years on...I still remember some of the words and the rhythm. Brought tears to my eyes...the teachers I had then and the friends I made.

[lengeu]

English translation:

Together we progress onward
Clever at seeking knowledge
Take care of your health
And be courteous to your friends
With a heart that is clean and pure
Together we respect and do good
Watch your behaviour, oh youths
Customs and cultures, hold them high
Quickly reach your ambitions, oh youths
So that we'll have our worth, in the eyes of the world
If we are lazy and forgetful
Our lives are for nothing
A good soul, a healthy and fresh mind
Hard work and patience, definitely brings happiness
Soft-spoken is the lady
Energetic and tenacious is the man
Charitable, always contributing
Protecting and giving service
Attain a respectable position, oh youths
Be hardworking so that you will succeed, may you achieve happiness

I used to sing this song together with my friends when I was in primary school about 18 years ago.. Today, my son requested me to to play this song for him.. When the song was played, it really bring back a lot of memories. 😢 I missed those days.

Happy Racial Harmony Day to all Singaporeans! This is my favourite malay song. I used to sing during school days. Brings back fond memories. Now that I understand the lyrics, with the help of translation, makes the song more beautiful to me.

Brings back a lot of memories. I'm surprised I can still remember the lyrics (which I don't understand) after 20 years.

Edwin- The spelling is correct on the last line. I have checked through the spelling throughout the song but I did not spot any spelling error. Could you kindly highlight to me the error? Thanks
