Fifty years you have guided us,
Reaching your golden milestone with memorable years.

Fifty years you have guided us,
Our souls, our minds, our hearts, our eyes cry joyful tears.

Fifty years you have guided us,
Uniting us with a thread which is now covered in gold.

Fifty years you have guided us,
Filling our lives with passion to better the world.

Fifty years you have guided us,
The colour of your affection runs deep in our blood.

Fifty years you have guided us,
Our hearts melting from the blaze of your love.

Fifty years you have guided us,
Showing us the way to reach the One above.

Fifty years you have guided us,
Bringing together many languages to speak one language.

Fifty years you have guided us,
Being under your wing is our privilege.

Fifty years you have guided us,
The warm glow in our eyes, our smiles express our elation.

Fifty years you have guided us,
And for this we show our appreciation.
