"ZaNorte is Paradise"
Verse 1 Early in the morning as the sun rises up You'll be awakened by the cluck of the chickens And as you decide to come out of your house You'll be greeted by the fresh morning breeze And if you would like to refresh from the scorching sun It has falls. It has sees. It has rivers that stretch from far and wide. There's nowhere like... Chorus: ZaNorte! It's privileged of the beauty of sunset; It's adorned with the vast tracts of mountains; It's abundant of our natural resources. It's peaceful, bountiful,.. our paradise! Verse 2 (Same chords as in Verse 1) It always pays you enough knowing that You are living under the blue sky And after such a tiresome day at work You'll be approached with your family's smiles And the calm and cold wind at night, Ain't it comfortable? Yes it is. And this is the blissful and simple life lived by the people of... (repeat chorus) Bridge In here it's possible for our tri-peoples To live together peacefully Everyone is welcome in the home that we call ZaNorte (Repeat chorus)
