What life has taught me<br />
I should like to share with<br />
Those who w<strong>an</strong>t to learn<br />
Until the philosophy which holds<br />
One race superior <strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>other inférior<br />
Is finally <strong>an</strong>d perm<strong>an</strong>ently discredited<br />
And ab<strong>an</strong>doned<br />
That until there are no longer<br />
First class <strong>an</strong> second class citizen<br />
Of <strong>an</strong>y nation<br />
Until the colour of a m<strong>an</strong> skin<br />
Is of no more signific<strong>an</strong>ce th<strong>an</strong><br />
The colour of his eyes<br />
That until there basic hum<strong>an</strong> rights<br />
Are equally guar<strong>an</strong>teed to all,<br />
Whithout regard to race<br />
That until that day,<br />
The dream of lasting peace, world<br />
Citizenship <strong>an</strong>d the rule of<br />
International morality<br />
Will remain in but a. fleeting illusion<br />
To be persued, but never attained<br />
And until the ignoble <strong>an</strong>d unhappy<br />
Regime that now hoid our brothers<br />
ln Angola, in Mozambique, South Africa<br />
ln sub-hum<strong>an</strong> bondage, have besn<br />
Toppled utterly destroyed<br />
Until that day the Afrië<strong>an</strong> continent<br />
Will not know peace<br />
We afric<strong>an</strong>s will fight, if necessary<br />
And we know we shall win<br />
As we are confident in the victory of<br />
Good over evil, of good over evil<br />
Sa lavi-a apw<strong>an</strong>n mwin<br />
Mwin té ké inmin partajé-ï<br />
Épi sa ki byin lé<br />
Magré ki filozofi-a ki ka di<br />
Ki zafè <strong>an</strong> ras sipériè épi <strong>an</strong> lòt infériè<br />
