AFRICA
Africa, my Africa Africa proud warriors in ancestral savannahs Africa my ava sings Riverside away Never have I seen But your full of blood I look Your beautiful black blood poured on the fields Blood of your sweat Sweat of your work Slave labor Enslavement of your children Africa tell me Africa So you have that you back that folds And bows down to the weight of humility Back trembling with red stripe Consents to the whip on the streets of the South Then he answered a serious voice Impetuous son's strong young tree That tree over there Beautifully only among white flowers wilted And 'the Africa of the Africa that your new sprouts Patiently obstinately And the fruits of which gradually acquire The bitter taste of freedom.
