Singapore Songs
イスラム教国に囲まれたちっぽけな国の、ナショナリズムにグッとクル。
「ナショナリズムとは、一つの生活圏=文化圏=コミュニケーション網としてのネーションの統一、独立、発展を希求する意識の状態、思想および運動と定義することができる。いいかえれば、自分が仲間の一人として帰属すると感じている「民族」あるいは「国民」という社会集団の存立と発展を願う心理状態である。…(中略)…人々が自己を国民国家と同一視するようになるのは、ヨーロッパ、アメリカでは十九世紀、アジア、アフリカでは二十世紀になってからである」
(衛藤瀋吉ほか『国際関係論 第二版』pp.153-154)
WE ARE SINGAPORE SHINE ON ME STAND UP FOR SINGAPORE
There was a time when people said
That Singapore won't make it
But we did
There was a time when troubles
Seemed too much for us to take
But we did
We built a nation
Strong and free
Reaching out together
For peace and harmony

Chorus :
This is my country
This is my flag
This is my future
This is my life
This is my family
These are my friends
We are Singapore, Singaporeans

Singapore our homeland It's here that we belong
All of us united
One people marching on
We've come so far together
Our common destiny
Singapore forever
A nation strong and free
(Spoken pledge) ノノ

(Sung)
We the citizens of Singapore
Pledge ourselves as one united people
Regardless of race, language or religion
To build a democratic society
Based on justice and equality
So as to achieve happiness
Prosperity and progress for our nation

We are Singapore
We are Singapore
We will stand together
Hear the lion roar
We are Singapore
We are Singapore
We're a nation strong
And free forevermore

Chorus

We are Singapore, Singaporean
The moment when I was born
Into this world, into my home
I recall when I was young
Stars and crescent shine on me

In my heart lies my homeland
I share this joy with my families and friends
Let our strength build on and on
Reaching out to the world

**Chorus x 2
Stars and crescent shine on me
Make us more than what we can be
All our dreams come true
As we all grow stronger

Stars and crescent shine on me
Turning our hopes into reality
For we will always be
Shining as one**

Let our hopes lead us afar
Into the world, to be the best
Thereユs so much to reach out for
Stars and crescent shining on

In my heart lies my homeland
I share this joy with my families and friends
Stepping out into a New World
As we make our choices
Stand up for Singapore
Do the best you can
Reach our for your fellow man
You've got to make a stand
Recognise you can play your part
Let it come right from your heart
Be prepared to give a little more

Stand up, stand up for Singapore
Stand up for Singapore
Do it with a smile
If you stand up for Singapore
You'll find it all worthwhile
Believe in yourself
You've got something to share
So show us all you really care
Be prepared to give a little more
Stand up, stand up for Singapore

Singapore our home and nation
Together with determination
Join in like we've never done before
Stand up, stand up for Singapore
Stand up, stand up for Singapore
