ENGLISH & FIJIAN lyrics

Vs 1
Tell the people all over it’s time to rise
     Kacivi ira mera yadra mai (Yadra mai)

Don’t let the darkness close your eyes
     Na buto me kua ni tarova noda rai (Yadra mai)

He may come in the night wow oo
     De na basika mai ena bogi edai (Yadra mai)

Keep a watch look up higher
     Rai ki cake me da yadra mai

Vs 2
Meda vakamuria na vosa ni noda Kalou (Yadra mai)
     Tell the people His word is the guide

Cinavi kina na cala ni beci ni bula vou
     Turns the light on sinner’s pride

Vakaceceretaki o Koya na luve ni noda Kalou
     He’s the one glorified wow oo

Rai ki cake meda yadra mai
     Keep a watch look up higher




BRIDGE
Meda rai ga ki cake (repeat)

Rejoice it's the dawn of a New Day (repeat)
