AS WE CELEBRATE AFRIKA DAY….

1963 was the year

25 may is the day

Let us celebrate brothers and sisters

Let us celebrate our unity

And dignity

Let us celebrate even in our oppression

Let us celebrate and remind our leaders the cause

Let us celebrate our strength

Let us celebrate the power of the black man

Let us celebrate the strength of a black woman

We are Africans, and we celebrate Afrika day

Let us celebrate the freedom of our lions

The freedom of our rivers

The freedom of our birds

The freedom of our minerals

Let us celebrate

The freedom of our land

Let us celebrate Afrika

We celebrate the victory of Uganda

The victory of Zimbabwe

The victory of Azania

The victory of all African states

The victory against colonialism

We celebrate the victory,

That ushered us into a new war

A war and permanent struggle between blacks,

And blacks.

Addis Ababa still echoes in our minds

Ethiopia still remains in our thoughts

We celebrate and remember Nkwame Nkruma

Nelson Mandela and Chiluba

Seretse Khama and Uhuru

We shout Uhuru Afrika

As we celebrate Afrika Day

Lest we forget the true beginning

Be reminded dictator

Be reminded you who rule with an iron fist

Remember and be reminded of the day

The day when Afrika stood as one

Afrika for Africans

Men and women of valor

Let us celebrate our power

Let us celebrate our unity

Mayibuye iAfrika !
