DESCRIPTION
| Basé sur le discours de l'empereur d'Ethiopie Hailé Sélassié II du 6 avril 1966. |
Until the philosophy
Which hold one race
Superior and another, inferior
Is finally, and permanently
Discredited and abandonned
Everywhere is war
Me say war
That until there're 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 colours 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
Willl remain in but a fleeting illlusion
To be pursued
But never attained
Now everywhere is war, war
And until the ignoble and unhapppy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambic,
South Africa, sub-human bondage
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed
Well everywhere 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 it
We find if necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confidents
In the victory
Of good over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over evil…
