For Africa, the continent of peace
In this day Africa's glory will increase.
For we want to recall the men of freedom
Who are now blessed in the Garden of Eden.
In the name of freedom, from Botswana
We never forget Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana
Who brought independence and peace
So the bloodshed and war could cease.
For freedom the angels dance Mambo,
They lead us to the blessed land, Congo
Where Patrice Lumumba sang the song of liberty
Harbinger of peace, democracy and tranquility.
We do hail the man who fought imperialism
Imperialism that now feeds the terrorism
Amilcar cabral, an eternal bless has been given to you
Since To colonists you bid a big adieu.
To the great teacher of Tanzania we bow
Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, who did vow
To bring union to his land
He did so, with people, hand in hand.
Father Samorah Machel made the colonists so weak
In the unique land of resistance and liberty, Mozambique.
He who fought against discrimination
And now is the honor of his nation.
Father Kenyatta, thy name do shine so pretty
In Africa and the world you're blessed with eternity
Freedom's finds its meaning in thee
You set the pigeons of Kenya free.
And Apartheid the mortal breed
Discrimination you made, the biggest satanic deed.
Thought you were eternal
But father Madiba proved you're infernal.
O' Apartheid, yes, you are a mortal breed,
Stop in all the world, of the blood you feed,
Not only you nor nothing else,
Can decrease the Africa's wealth.
Africa in peace and Africa in glory,
Has an adored history and a long story.
In the name of Africa, please stand!
Stand for this God blessed splendid land.
admiarable and acclaimable peace of feat.
