Rise with great mobility and vitality!
Rise, show the world your native inborn quality!
With exuberance and a jovial mood,
Brimming with a glow of abundant nourishment,
Show them, ye offspring of the soil
How we celebrate the omega of our toil.
With your undiluted ethics and values
Unleash the African sap in its volumes
You are no mere child, but a true African
Rise, claim your space today
Wait not for the morrow, it has never fulfilled a promise.
Although the previous night felt bleak, remember it was only for the night
Elation and jubilation is popping up at daybreak.
The night was dark and ruthless
But it brightened the glimmering star
The darkest storm was brutal but a marvellous dawn was wrapped inside
Do not be captivated by negativity
Rather, crash it with positivity.
You are an offspring of the soil
None can defy you
Under a thousand suns of hope you bask!
Never allow eurocentrism to roll you in its massive traction.
Be principled and govern your appetite.
Your womb has precious sacred luggage in its carriage,
If then you get windswept, Africa is crippled
Therefore, respect yourself, for if you get windswept, Africa will be crippled
Do not forget that beauty blooms more when enveloped, cover your sanctified cargo.
With such, you are good to go
Now you have risen with alacrity
High up like a phoenix from the ashes
Walk with steely resolve and a fearless step
Shun captivity of negativity
Go write your own destiny
Celebrate the African victory!
You can make it alone with a glamorous peculiar touch because
You are an offspring of the soil!
