national day is coming and channel 8 was showing some clips of NDP preview 2006. then i heard many "national day" songs and i found this on the net which i think is sho funny.
SING SINGAPORE VERSION:
We have a vision for tomorrow
Just believe, just believe
We have a goal for Singapore
We can achieve, we can achieve
You and me, we'll do our part
Stand together, heart to heart
We're going to show the world what
Singapore can be
We can achieve, we can achieve
There is something down the road that
We can strive for
We re told no dream's too bold that
We can't try for
There's a spirit in the air
It's a feeling we all share
We're going to build a better life
For you and me
We can achieve, we can achieve
Count on me Singapore (x2)
Count on me to give my best and more
Count on me Singapore
ANONYMOUS TAKE:
We have a revision of pay tomorrow
Just release, just release
We have a poorer Singapore
We won't receive, we won't receive
You and me, we have a part
With our CFP [pension], for a start
We have to show the world that we
take less money
We won't receive, we won't receive
There is nothing down the road that
we can look for
We are told the dream that
we could never try for
There's a spirit in the air
The Seven Month feeling we all share
We're gonna build a better after-life
For you and me
We were deceived, we were deceived
Count money Singapore (x2)
Count on me to give my salary and more
Count money Singapore
(wahpiang)
and here are some others! savour it man! i can still remember how loud i used to sing (shout will be a more appropriate word) in primary school!! waahahhaa.. i love xinmin!! :D:D:D:D:D
Singapore Town
| You could take a little trip around Singapore town |
| In Singapore city bus |
| To see Collyer Quay (remb how everyone used to pronounce it as KUAY literally?) and Raffles Place |
The Esplanade and all of us (huh when i was in primary 4 got esplanade already meh? i swear i must have pronounce "a planet" instead)
|
|
| Chorus: |
| Because in Singapore, Singapore |
| Their hearts are big and wide you'll find |
| Because in Singapore, Singapore |
| You'll find happiness (CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!) for everyone |
|
| Let's go down to the riverside, it's an unforgettable sight |
| To see the sunrise on a faraway isle, turning darkness into light |
|
| ( Repeat Chorus ) |
|
| The buildings are climbing all the way to the sky |
| And there's a hundred other people who are striving |
| For people like you and I |
|
| ( Repeat Chorus ) |
Home
| Whenever I am feeling low |
| I look around me and I know |
| There's a place that will stay within me |
| Wherever I may choose to go |
| I will always recall the city |
| Know every street and shore |
| Sail down the river which brings us life |
| Winding through my Singapore |
|
| Chorus: |
| This is home truly, where I know I must be |
| Where my dreams wait for me, where that river always flows |
| This is home surely, as my senses tell me |
| This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home |
|
| When there are troubles to go through |
| We'll find a way to start anew |
| There is comfort in the knowledge |
| That home's about its people too |
| So we'll build our dreams together |
| Just like we've done before |
| Just like the river which brings us life |
| There'll always be Singapore |
|
| ( Repeat Chorus ) |
|
| For this is where I know it's home |
| For this is where I know I'm home |
again, back in xinmin, this is every one's favourite! :D
Together
| Let us be together aspire to achieve |
| No matter what, no matter when, working hand in hand |
| Let us go the distance, reach for goals that shine |
| Creating our future, with everyone in mind |
|
| Chorus: |
| Together we make a difference, one voice, one destiny |
| We remain undivided, our hearts in harmony |
| Together we make a difference, our friends, our families |
| We will share a special dream, together we feel the Singapore heartbeat |
|
| Let us find in our strides, new strength to go on by |
| Nothing is ever easy, we have to hold on and strive |
| Let us never be afraid, if we have to change our ways |
| Through the years, we'll always stay, one in every way |
|
| ( Repeat Chorus ) |
|
| We will share a special dream |
| Together we feel the Singapore heartbeat |
| Singapore heartbeat |
awww. my class performed this song for celebrations when we were primary 5! damn spastic lah, cuz everyone was so excited tt it is going to be a GRAND performance, everyone bought new clothes new skirts new shoes (make-up i'm not sure though) but it was just a very plain/normal singing performance at the concourse. so lame lah! n i remembered that we were very poor that time so no one owes the CD which has this song and everyone (yes all the girls) in class had to listen to 933fm attentively everyday to record the song lor!!! HAHAHAHA.. tt's how backward techonology is then. awww :) i love this song too!
Where I belong
Morning comes around and I |
| Can't wait to see my sunny island |
| In its glorious greenery, whether rain or shine, it's still beautiful |
| Bright lights shine on the streets at night |
| Guiding me closer to home |
| To a place where I'll be safe and warm, where I belong |
|
| Friends and families by my side |
| Seeing me through as I grow and learn |
| Everyday's experience, bitter sweet or sour |
| They're still wonderful |
| As they become precious memories |
| They'll be kept close to my heart |
| And no matter where I am I will always know, where I belong |
|
| Chorus: |
| Where I belong, where I keep my heart and soul |
| Where dreams come true for us |
| Where we walk together hand in hand towards a future so bright |
| Where I belong, where I keep my heart and soul |
| Where we're one big family |
| I want the whole world to know, I want to shout it out loud |
| That this is where I know I belong |
this is another super nice song!
