Agónica África

You shine like the sun, wrapped in beauty
Welcome to Africa, agonizing Africa
Under the watchful eye of the predator
Stolen and divided, naked and stripped
Welcome to Africa, agonizing Africa
Condemned to poverty and marginalization

Uh uh uh uh
Famine and desolation
Uh uh uh uh

Like a curse, the lords of usury
Welcome to Africa, agonizing Africa
Maintain imbalance and dispossession
A thousand times plundered, violated and dismembered
Welcome to Africa, agonizing Africa
Your children under the yoke of a new slavery

Uh uh uh uh
Your wealth is your downfall
Uh uh uh uh

The lion's throat has not stopped roaring
Seeing your children die
In the harshest exclusion of a mercantile world
There is no place for you

I raise my voice, Africa cries out for emancipation
From centuries of colonization
Insubordination to external debt to the corporation
To the tyrant who betrayed them

Uh uh uh uh
Your wealth is your downfall
Uh uh uh uh

The lion's throat has not stopped roaring
Seeing your children die
In the harshest exclusion of a mercantile world
There is no place for you

You shine like the sun wrapped in misery
Welcome to Africa, agonizing Africa;
