Oh Harry
Oh Harry
The apple to millions
A farmer
Who never abandons
His crops
Because weeds have taken over.
You are the Olumo.*
On which we crest our Woes
We know the good ONE
On the day it rains.
You are the mint of Happiness
Yours will be so everlasting.
Your burg, castle and yam
Won't be small but bountiful
Forever colossal and Indian
The HONEY POT of Continents.

use the olumo rock as their cultural image of solidarity,
strength and reliability.
