I will pronounce your name

Like sweet music untamed

Like a fresh wound that bleeds

It flies unrestrained from my lips

What an exquisite name you bear!

Bright and promising, the day of your birth

Day and night it rings in my head

Now and forever, I shall declare

Blessed and nourished is your glowing soul

Your mother’s breast, your protective shield

Her sweat and blood made you grow

Her constant words rooted your dignity

Like a beautiful doe, you stand proud

The daughter of your mother is who you are

I will pronounce your name, my stunning bride

Cos today the world shall know you are mine
