|
Until the philosophy which hold one race |
|
Superior and another inferior |
|
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned |
|
Everywhere is war, me say war |
|
That until there are no longer first class |
|
And second class citizens of any nation |
|
Until the colour of a man's skin |
|
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes |
|
Me say war |
|
That until the basic human rights are equally |
|
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race |
|
Dis a war |
|
That until that day |
|
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship |
|
Rule of international morality |
|
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion |
|
To be pursued, but never attained |
|
Now everywhere is war, war |
|
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes |
|
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique, |
|
South Africa sub-human bondage |
|
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed |
|
Well, everywehre is war, me say war |
|
War in the east, war in the west |
|
War up north, war down south |
|
War, war, rumours of war |
|
And until that day, the African continent |
|
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight |
|
We find it necessary and we know we shall win |
|
As we are confident in the victory |
|
Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil |
|
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil |
