Nana

The enemy has gone
But soon he will return
When his drums sound
I will surely die
All of mine have died
Only I remain standing
They were all my friends
But soon I will see them
For I too am wounded
Seriously wounded

I know it by seeing my blood flow
Eager to escape from me
From this badly wounded body
That never hesitated to risk
His life for a dream
That he will no longer achieve
I will tie myself to my standard
Faithful symbol of my faith
If death comes first
May they find me standing
Standing and defiant
As I always lived

Let it be clear in their minds
That I never surrendered
And I am losing consciousness
I can hardly see
Death waits a moment
They will return soon
I see a lady coming towards me smiling
If that lady is death
Who is afraid to die?

She comes singing a lullaby
From my homeland
My mother used to sing it to me
I will never forget it
Oh, oh, oh
