Each Independence Day serves as a reminder
Of the relentless toil our forefathers endured to bring us liberation.
The joy of freedom ahead prevented them from giving up,
Despite the disheartening and heart-wrenching bloodshed and sweat.
Being forced to abandon one’s culture for another’s is a daunting task.
Let us remember the toil and hardship we endured for this freedom.
And pass down this pride and love for our culture,
So that our children will be proud of their heritage
And eager to flaunt it far and wide.
