Lyrics:
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Hit-na-a-ri, hit-na-a-ri, mei-a-far ku-mi
Liv’-shi big-dei tif-far-teich a-mi
It’s too late to sleep now, baby
Shake the dust off all our dreams
Dress yourself in something pretty
Oh, holy child, come on and celebrate with me
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Hit-na-a-ri, hit-na-a-ri, mei-a-far ku-mi
Liv’-shi big-dei tif-far-teich a-mi
Array yourself in beauty, O my people!
Don’t look back over your shoulder
Don’t wait around ‘til it’s too late
Now’s your time in the spotlight
We need you now, come on dancing through those holy gates!
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Array yourself in beauty, O my people!
Lift yourself up! Shake off the dust!
