The lyrics of the anthem are as follows:
Rest in peace; you are always in our hearts
Rest in peace, Father; we will always follow in your footsteps
This love for you will last forever
This fire within us will never go out; it will always burn
You have flooded the darkness with your light
You were born as a ray of hope from those misty horizons
This love for you will last forever
This fire within us will never go out; it will always burn
You, too, hold the key to this nation's civilization
With the Republic, you opened the gates of enlightenment to this nation
Rest easy, Grandfather; you will never be laid to rest
We won’t let a speck of dust touch his name—we’re on high alert at all times
Rest in peace, Grandfather; don’t worry
The history you have written will forever be an epic in the tongues of the world
Rest in peace, Grandfather; don’t worry
Your place in our hearts will always remain
