Since the difficult time saround the country, the national radio Station Voice of guyana has been playing 2 or 3 national songs a day to try to unite the country. Some are pretty awful but others are good. I have never known a country that has so many national songs.
This is one of my favourites - it's up beat and to the point and talks about unity which is one of the biggest issues here. It's got a rousing tune and sounds in the same vein as Oklahoma but not the same tune!
‘LET US CO-OPERATE’
W. R. A. Pilgrim
Let us co-operate for Guyana
Let us co-operate for our land,
Let us resolve to fight together
See we do it right together
Can we do it? Yes we can.
Each man must do his bit with his comrades,
Each man must do his bit for his land,
Each must resolve to help another,
Learn to call his neighbour ‘brother’
Can we do it? Yes we can.
Each group must do its best for the region,
Each group must do its best for the land,
Each group must sacrifice a little
Learn to do without a little
Can we do it? Yes we can.
The regions must unite for the country,
The regions must unite for the land,
Each region has its chosen mission
But they all have one ambition
Can we do it? Yes we can.
Let us co-operate for Guyana
Let us co-operate for our land
Let us resolve to fight together
See we do it right together
Can we do it? Yes we can.
