Cry !! Cry !! Oh, children of Africa
Let your tears flood the river nile
Let your mourns be heard by the wind
And let Africa ris
For too long oh mother, land
You have allowed us to roam wild
To long, we have slaved for the world
It’s time, oh mother take us home
We are despised by the world
From the blue-eyed to the cross eyed
They treat us as the dirt of the world
How long oh motherland, how long?
We have been stripped of our dignity,
Our history and our pride;
What more will you let them take?
Oh motherland, not our King
Arise!! Africa!! Arise!!
And let the fragrance of your bossom
Revive the youth of your blood
And the food of your stomach strengthen them
Arise oh mother and show the world
Who is the Conquering lion;
For though the elephant is big and strong
Its the cunningness and speed of the lion
That makes him master
So Arise!! my blessed motherland, Africa!! Arise!!
