HAPPY 44TH BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!
=D

20 Singapore songs:



1) Count On Me Singapore
We have a vision for tomorrow, just believe, just believe
We have a goal for Singapore, we can achieve, we can achieve
You and me, we'll do our part, stand together, heart to heart
We're going to show the world what Singapore can be
We can achieve, we can achieve

There is something down the road that we can strive for
We are told no dream's too bold that we can't try for
There's a spirit in the air, it's a feeling we all share
We're going to build a better life, for you and me
We can achieve, we can achieve

Count on me Singapore, count on me to give my best and more
You and me, we'll do our part, stand together, heart to heart
We're going to show the world what Singapore can be
We can achieve, we can achieve

Chorus:
Count on me Singapore, Count on me Singapore
Count on me to give my best and more, count on me Singapore

Repeat Chorus

Together Singapore Singapore (X2)

2) One People, One Nation, One Singapore
We've built a nation with our hands
The toil of people from a dozen lands
Strangers when we first began, now we're Singaporean
Let's reach out for Singapore, join our hands forever more

Chorus:
One people, one nation, one Singapore
That's the way that we will be forever more
Every creed and every race, has its role and has its place
One people, one nation, one Singapore

And when the time comes for the test
Our vigilance will never rest
We'll be united, hand in hand
We'll show the world just where we stand
And reach out for Singapore, join our hands forever more

Repeat Chorus x2

One people, one nation, one Singapore

3) Moments of Magic
(Sung by Fann Wong, Tanya Chua & Elsa Lim)
Tomorrow brings enchanting moments
A brand new day of inspiration
Like a river flows, to where our dreams unfold
This feeling is never like before, a new beginning for all

Chorus:
Let us celebrate this moment, a brand new day awaits
Let us reach out for our dreams out there
Moments of magic we will share

Let us celebrate this moment, a brand new day awaits
We will always be, a city of friends
Time will bring for us to share
Moments of magic

Time brings new hopes for us to move on
There's more to treasure as we go on
The world is our stage, let us find a way
Moving into a different time where horizon shines

Repeat Chorus x2

4) Chan Mali Chan
dimana dia anak kambing saya?
anak kambing saya yang makan daun talas
dimana dia buah hati saya?
buah hati saya bagai telur dikupas
chan mali chan, chan mali chan
chan mali chan, ketipung payung
di mana dia, anak kambing saya?
anak kambing saya main di tepi sawah
di mana dia, cinta hati saya?
cinta hati saya yang pakai baju merah
di mana dia anak kambing tuan?
anak kambing tuan di atas jambatan
yang mana dia si bunga pujaan?
si bunga tanjung dihujung dahan
kalau nak tahu anak kambing saya
anak kambing saya di dalam bilik
kalau nak tahu intan payung saya
intan payung saya yang kecil lah molek
di mana dia anak kambing tuan?
anak kambing tuan yang bulunya kuning
yang mana dia buah hati tuan?
buah hati tuan yang putih lah kuning


5) Shine For Singapore
Have you seen a star,
One that guides you no matter where you are?
However vast the sky may be
Or dark it seems
You can be sure, it's always there for you and me

Verse 2:
Have you heard a song,
One that moved you, one that made you sing along?
Your dreams and hopes will all come true
If you believe that every vision begins with you.

Chorus 1:
Shine for Singapore
This is your song,
Deep inside your heart where it belongs
It'll always stay. Strive for your goals,
You will achieve with visions so bold.

Chorus 2:
Shine for Singapore
This is our song
Reach out for the sky, far and beyond
As one we'll stand, we're Singapore
It's here that we belong
Nowhere I'd rather be, this is home to me
This star shines strong and free

6) Five Stars Arising
There's a new moon arising
Out of the stormy sea
Youthful and bright and
Bearing hope, and tranquil as can be
Reach out for the moon above
Savour freedom, truth and love
There's a new moon arising
Out of the stormy sea
There's are five stars arising
Out of the stormy sea
Each is a lamp to guide our way;
A lamp for all to see
Reach out for the stars above
Savour freedom, truth and love
There are five stars arising
Out of the stormy sea
There's a new flag arising
Out of the stormy sea
Crimson as the blood of all mankind
Yet white and pure and free
Reach out for the flag above
Savour freedom, truth and love
There's a new flag arising
Happy and proud are we.

7) Stand Up for Singapore
Stand up for Singapore
Do the best you can
Reach out for your fellow men,
You've got to make a stand
Recognize you can play your part
Let it come right from your heart
Be prepared to give a little more
Stand up, stand up for Singapore
Stand up for Singapore
Do it with a smile
If you stand up for Singapore
You'll find it all worthwhile
Believe in yourself
You've got something to share;
So show us all you really care
Be prepare to give a little more
Stand up, stand up for Singapore
Singapore our home and nation
Together with determination
Join in like we've never done before
Stand up, stand up for Singapore
Stand up, stand up for Singapore

8) Shine On Me
(Sung by Jai)
The moment when I was born
Into this world, into my home
I recall when I was young
Stars and Crescent shine on me

In my hear lies my homeland
I share this joy with my families and friends
Let our strength build on and on
Reaching out to the world

Chorus:
Stars and Crescent shine on me
Make us more than what we can be
All our dreams come true
As we all grow stronger

Stars and Crescent shine on me
Turning our hopes into reality
For we will always be
Shining as one

Let our hopes lead us afar
Into the world, to be the best
There's so much to reach out for
Stars and Crescent shining on

In my heart lies my homeland
I share this joy with families and friends
Stepping out into a New World
As we make our choices

9) We Are Singapore
There was a time when people said
That Singapore won't make it, but we did
There was a time when troubles seemed too much
For us to take, but we did
We built a nation, strong and free, reaching out together
For peace and harmony

Chorus 1:
This is my country, this is my flag
This is my future, this is my life
This is my family, these are my friends
We are Singapore, Singaporeans

Singapore our homeland, it's here that we belong
All of us united, one people marching on
We've come so far together, our common destiny
Singapore forever, a nation strong and free

Repeat Chorus 1

(Singapore Pledge Sung)
We the citizens of Singapore
Pledge ourselves as one united people
Regardless of race, language or religion
To build a democratic society
Based on justice and equality
So as to achieve happiness
Prosperity and progress for our nation

Chorus 2:
We are Singapore, we are Singapore
We will stand together, hear the lion roar
We are Singapore, we are Singapore
We're a nation strong and free forever more

Repeat Chorus 2

This is my country, this is my flag (We are Singapore, we are Singapore)
This is my future, this is my life (We will stand together, hear the lion roar)
This is my family, these are my friends (We are Singapore, we are Singapore)
We are Singapore, Singaporeans
We are Singapore, Singaporeans

10) Where I Belong
(Sung by Tanya Chua)
Morning comes around and I
Can't wait to see my sunny island
In its glorious greenery
Whether rain or shine, it's still beautiful
Bright lights shine on the streets at night
Guiding me closer to home
To a place where I'll be safe and warm
Where I belong

Friends and families by my side
Seeing me through as I grow and learn
Every day's experience
Bitter, sweet or sour, they are still wonderful
They'll be kept close to my heart
And no matter where I am
I will always know
Where I belong

Where I belong
Where I keep my heart and soul
Where dreams come true for us
Where we walk together hand in hand
Towards a future so bright

Where I belong
Where I keep my heart and soul
Where we are one big family
I want the whole world to know
I want to shout it out loud
That this is where I know I belong

11)We Will Get There
(Sung by Stefanie Sun)
Remember the days, we set out together with faith?
Remember the times, so fine, when we thought that
Nothing could stand in our way?
Then things weren't the same
the life that we knew had to change
We've struggled through, the darkest storms
We thought we couldn't tame
Together we've tried, as we stood side by side
I knew we'd build a new world
A world of hope for ever after

Deep in my heart I just know
Right from the start we will grow
Look where we are, we've come so far
And there's still a long long way to go
With all my heart, I will care
I'll play my part, I will share
With family and friends, together we'll stand
And in the end, hand in hand
We will get there

So now we begin
Working together to win
Believe in trust, it must
Be possible to overcome anything
There's so much to do
There's so much we can contribute
By sharing just a little love
We will start again anew
So why don't we try?
If we stand side by side
I know we'll build a new world
A world of hope for ever after


12) Singapore Town
You could take a little trip around Singapore town
In a Singapore city bus
To see Collyer Quay and Raffles Place
The Esplanade and all of us
Chorus:
Because in Singapore, Singapore
There hearts are big and wide you'll find
Because in Singapore, Singapore
You'll find happiness for everyone.
Let's go down to the riverside
It's an unforgettable sight
To see the sunrise on a faraway isle
Turning darkness into light
(chorus)
The buildings are climbing
All the way to the sky
And there's a hundred other people
Who are striving
For people like you and I

13) Home
Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Chorus:
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home

When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That homes about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore

14) Reach out for the skies
At a time when hope was low
The journey seems unsure
But through it all
We’ve kept the flame alive

Now standing proud and tall
Our spirit strong and free
Building on hopes and dreams
It’s here we want to be

Chorus
Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
We’ll make our destiny

Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
Let’s soar and reach for the skies

When I think about my dreams
The future it can be
The time has come for me
To strive and to achieve

With hopes within our hearts
As one hand in hand
For family and our friends
Let’s do the best we can

15)My Island Home
This is my home
She's everything to me
Grace and beauty
In all that you see

My island home
Wherever I may be
I never will forget her
Nor will she forget me

Chorus:
And I will sing
A song of home
A land of peace
Where dreams are born every day
My home
Wherever I may be
I believe
You will always be a part of me

My island home
Home of my family
This is my future
Where I want to be
(This is my future
This is my home)
My home
Wherever I may be
I believe
You will always be a part of me
A part of me

16) Together
(Sung by Evelyn Tan)
Let us be together
Aspire to achieve
No matter what, no matter when
Working hand in hand

Let us go the distance
Reach for goals that shine
Creating our future
With everyone in mind

Together we make a difference
One voice, one destiny
We remain undivided
Our hearts in harmony

Together we make a difference
Our friends, our families
We will share a special dream
Together we feel the Singapore heartbeat

Let us find in our strides
New strength to go on by
Nothing is ever easy
We have to hold on and strive

Let us never be afraid
If we have to change our ways
Through the years we'll always stay
One in every way

17) Munneru valiba
Munneru valiba
Munneri endrum
Thoduvan nok ku vai
Kan the ri ya they
Kar Irullil
Oli rum vin mee nay
Thanimaiyalay payantha nadugal
Irulil oli per unnai nadum
Manil nok ku valiba
En drum mun ne ri
Thodu van nok ku vai

18) Will You
Will you make this island
Amazing in all ways?
Surprises every corner
Delightful nights and days

Will you take this country
And turn it from a place
To a home that greets you
With smiles on every face?

Bridge:
Will you come on this brave journey?
Will you help to make it real?
Will you write us grand new stories
Songs that everyone will feel?

Chorus 1:
So will you swim the current?
Will you scale new heights?
Will you make it happen?
Will you let your dreams take flight?

Chorus 2:
And will you make the difference?
Will you seize the day?
Will you live each moment?
Will you dare to find new ways?

Will you take this city
And turn it from a place
To a home that greets you
With smiles on every face?
Dare to find
Dare to find
Dare to find new ways!

19) There’s no place I rather be
I've walked the streets of Cairo and Bombay
I've seen the neon signs on old Broadway
I've climbed the Eiffel Tower
The Great Wall in one hour
Experienced sweet and sour but that's okay

Seen Hollywood, the sunsets in LA
The London Bridge, Big Ben, The Thames, UK
I've crossed the River Kwai
Yet still I don't know why
I think of you each night and every day

Chorus 1:
There's no place I'd rather be
You'll always be a part of me
And even though I've roamed the world
It's still my home I long to see

Chorus 2:
This is where my family
And my friends grew up with me
So I'll cross the skies and sail the seas
To be where I wanna be
'Cos there's no place I'd rather be

20) One united people
One Singapore
One people strong and free
With one heart, one voice
We make our history,
We are a rainbow of a
thousand colours
Lighting up the sky
We share the Singapore
heartbeat
Together you and I, we are

Chorus

One Singapore
One nation strong and free
A thousand different voices
Sing in harmony
We will stand together
Together hand in hand
As one united people
For Singapore, my homeland

My Singapore
Our island in the sun
This is my homeland
Its where my strength is from
A rainbow of a thousand colours
Lighting up the sky
We build a brighter future
Together you and I,
We are
