In the North, there's a language so rich
So ancient, with a story to teach
Evolved through time, with countless tales
A language so unique, no other pales
Hausa, Hausa
A language that's ever-growing
With words so deep, and phrases worth knowing
A language that's still glowing
Hausa, Hausa
Evolving with each passing day
A language so bright, it leaves you in awe to say
From the times of the Kingdoms of old
To modernity, it's never grown cold
Spoken by millions, both young and old
It's part of an identity in a stronghold
Hausa, Hausa
A language that's ever-growing
With words so deep, and phrases worth knowing
A language that's still glowing
Hausa, Hausa
Evolving with each passing day
A language so bright, it leaves you in awe to say
From Kano to Zaria, Sokoto to Katsina
The Hausa language has always been a core
From the Hausa/Fulani to those all-day grinders
It's a language of culture, tradition and much more
Hausa, Hausa
A language that's ever-growing
With words so deep, and phrases worth knowing
A language that's still glowing
Hausa, Hausa
Evolving with each passing day
A language so bright, it leaves you in awe to say
From the marketplace to the palace walls
The Hausa language is never one to fall
With each generation, it grows and blooms
A heritage for us all, to treasure and consume.
