London

Oh! London what future awaits you?
Oh! London what is in the coffers for you?
Oh! London do you still weep?
Oh! London I hope you'll still be priceless.

She held your reins firmly,
She chauffeured you with undying zeal,
She polished your armour with dexterity,
She raised your walls with unabated strength.

Your doors you opened to many,
Others you brought into your train,
You stood by them like a mother hen,
Your hands guided them to safe grounds.

Your streets saw no one homeless,
Your gates didn’t bar the indigent,
You embraced the lost ones,
They built their homes with your bricks.

You walked with astonishing elegance,
Your beauty rekindled waning hope,
Your ethics bewildered many,
You stood tall among your compatriots.

You battled your assailants,
You weathered many storms,
You pushed through turbulent seas,
You strengthened your feeble knees.

Oh! The city that doesn’t go to sleep,
Let many still find solace in you,
Oh! The city that is cloaked with beauty,
Let your allure stand like the summer sun.

Who comes to ride your horse?
Who comes to pull apart your curtains?
The departed still smiles,
The Book of Chronicles still honours the departed.

Let’s stand in honour of our Queen mother,
Let’s salute her bravery,
London has you etched in her memory,
London has your name scripted in her parchments.
