From 'B' you speak of bravery, what then?
If you read and learn, you'll rise again.
Your name will soar, a starlit gleam,
If you read and learn, you'll chase your dream.
Understand?

When playtimes come, let toys be your delight,
But swiftly then, embrace the book's soft light.
Don't shirk your task, nor weave excuses frail,
Remain ignorant, and shame will then prevail.
If you read and learn, you'll rise again,
Your name will soar, a starlit gleam.

From 'A' you speak of owls, of faith's pure call,
In this wide world, be honest, stand up tall.
In this wide world, be honest, stand up tall.
Lies are not good, let truth enthrall.
Don't wound the heart, of any soul you meet,
Perform good deeds, at dawn, at dusk, complete.
If you read and learn, you'll rise again,
Your name will soar, a starlit gleam.

From 'B' again, a brave one, what is it? A monkey, a hero, bold and free.
Be brave, dear child, for your nation's plea,
Be brave, dear child, for your nation's plea,
A guardian of your garden, eternally.
Protect it close, embrace it with all your might,
Be free at last, and never yield to night.
If you read and learn, you'll rise again,
Your name will soar, a starlit gleam.

Now child, from 'T', of 'teetar', fate's design.
Forget the fate, that's not for you to pine.
With knowledge's art, let darkness lose its hold,
With knowledge's art, let darkness lose its hold.
March forward now, in stride's embrace,
Then destiny will greet you, with graceful pace.
If you read and learn, you'll rise again,
Your name will soar, a starlit gleam.

From 'M', you speak of rooster, of the worker's might,
Workers rise now, chests held up to the light.
You too must strive, and learn to truly live,
You too must strive, and learn to truly live.
If you toil and strive, then fruit you'll find,
The elders say, that idleness is a crime.
If you read and learn, you'll rise again,
Your name will soar, a starlit gleam.
If you read and learn, you'll rise again,
Your name will soar, a starlit gleam.
