The dawn
1. The weather is cool and cold
But before the sun rises, i rise
I rise and walk out of my room
And in the compound i stand
5. Up to the sky i look promptly
There is a great struggling in the sky
A struggle between light and darkness
Light want to take over from darkness
No, darkness says to the light
10. Come and see power tussle there above
After the struggling comes the light
Come and see the first of the light
Night that gives new look to the day
Welcome light, welcome new day
16. There is dawn in the morning
The first appearance of light
Please give me good tidings today
