My fellow elders,

It all begin here

Look at my own

Step forward my dearest granddaughter 

Yes! In your gown and hood 

My fellow elders

The girls and the schools are here

Let us encourage them through the system 

My fellow elders

Who said that women do not go to school?

Look at my very own

She can now treat each of us sick here

For she has aquired the expertise 

She can bring a big staight road here

For she has the ability 

She can now bring the light of the Whiteman here

For she has the knowledge 

My fellow elders 

The stories we want to hear tomorrow 

Are here with us, our girls!

Let us send our girls to school 

For good health

For a healthy society and families 

Because it is the year of jubilation

And for this, we must change 

Year of jubilation brings with it new everything 

For this is the stories we want to hear tomorrow
