1. O welcome, O noble penguin
Shepherd of righteous, pious shepherds

2. Let decorations be strung around his mount
And flowers strewn along his path

3. And may he stride gracefully amidst the generosity of his people
Crowned with success and divine aid

4. The scholars were unanimous in electing him
As the most qualified, refined candidate

5. The knowledgeable worker, the cultivated
The perfect, eloquent, articulate

6. The wise judge who in his rulings
Rules with justice, care and precision

7. The affectionate guardian of his oath of allegiance
The leader who protects rights

8. The resolute, strict yet not stingy
With the good deeds of his kind heart

9. Marvel at his refined, impeccable manners
And gentle, friendly etiquette

10. At his gentleness and his valor
Which even enemies admire like a friend

11. The one who molds words in his thirst
Sweetly, with radiant, graceful phrasing

12. May Almighty God let him live long and preserve
The supremacy of the East with distinction
