The crack in the plate of time
Brings forth the pages of memory
At the harvest of yesterday in today
In the life of a great institution
The great land of knowledge
Nourished by the great mother Volta
In the eastern hemisphere of a town
That blossomed in majesty
Fifty years is no archeological age
Of bearing fruits of excellence
Envied by all and all and all
Traversing this globe of wisdom search
Sogasco and the rest are far apart
Far apart in light years and galaxies
Flying beyond time, flying beyond space
Not the oldest not the youngest
Two score and ten and still counting
Sogasco is Sogasco in Sogasco and Sogasco
She lives beyond the past, beyond the present
Beyond the future and the future’s future
She creates the heroes, the warriors
The jingoists, the academics
Ruling our world of anti isolationism
Draining the oceans of poverty and death
I dip my hand into my pot of songs
Today, I weave a song for you Sogasco
With the skills and wizardry of a village basket weaver
I weave a song for you, Sogasco
I harvest memory deep in Adzaklo forest
The memories of yesteryears’ dreams of the
Founding fathers brought into the present
And still into the veils of tomorrow
No cross, No crown says your motto
No tears, No diadem is your sons’ song
Propelling them into distinguished service
To humanity, our humanity, the humanity
Stand, Sogasco, stand
Stand on the balcony of glory and beckon
Beckon your sons and daughters to a harvest dance of memory
At your birthday party, SOGASCO @ 50
A son lifts not a father to see cattle
None can show you the path of gold
So shine, shine forth year by year
Sowing seeds for a richer store
So sons of Sogasco, behold, behold
Here is our birthday party dinner
Sogasco is 50, Sogasco is 50
Hold the scepter of victory
Fly the global loot home
Come, for the harvest of memory
Come from North, South, West and East
The harvest of yesterday is today
The harvest of yesterday is today.
