Oh Mother Africa!!!

Oh Mother Africa!!!

Oh Mother Africa

The Mother of all humanity

From your bosom,

Rose the greatest civilization ever in human history

Through your sons and daughters,

You gave the world arts and sciences

Through your dark forests,

Emerged great scientists of all centuries

Through your fertile lands,

You managed to feed the world,

When humanity was at the brink of its destruction,

You gave it Christianity

When you mastered fire,

You contributed to the spread of humanity all over the planet.

Oh Mother Africa

The most beautiful mother on planet earth

The mother of love and hospitality

The mother of peace, tolerance and reconciliation

Your sons and daughters were raped

They were enslaved

The white man called you a savage

They exploited you,

Discriminated and oppressed you

They finally conquered you

But with all this you loved them and you never revenged.

You welcomed them again and ate with them

What a wonderful mother you are.

Oh Mother Africa

For so long you have been crippled

Your old days of glory are faded past the Horizon

One day,

Your sons and daughters,

Should unite for peace, love and prosperity

No longer should you be the beggar of the world

On your two feet you will rise,

To make your children proud of you.

One day, mother Africa, you will get the respect that you deserve on the world stage
