African Blood
Root fighter
pain experiencer
And shattered dreams
warrior by nature
Honest for your experience
oh African blood
Guide me to my ancestors
And free me from this torment of life
And these badly broken seals
Oh African blood your sadness
It's my biggest misfortune
oh African blood
I am not guilty of being your blood heir
But yes, just proud to be called an African
Oh African blood your name generates history
And your past remembers memories
Oh African blood come and free me from this poverty
Because I'm proud of your purity.
