Morning Ascended

Morning has ascended, with its entire splendor in ascent
The light dazzled the kohl in our eyes by its charm
And the bird warbled to the lord almighty
Beautiful tunes to refresh the sorrowed heart
Good Morning to all you workers

The sun has ascended with the smile of hope
As a flame of rubies like the blushing cheeks
It says, "You who are sleeping, it's time to works"
The worlds' bounty and pride is for the hardworking
Good Morning to all you workers

Sons of our homeland from its south to the east
You, with your sleeves rolled up
The light has embraced our country
And the sun has ascended with confidence in the hardworking
Good Morning to all you workers

Morning has ascended, with its entire splendor in ascent
The light dazzled the kohl in our eyes by its charm
And the bird warbled to the lord almighty
Beautiful tunes to refresh the sorrowed heart
Good Morning to all you workers
