1960
In Africa we look at you as sunrise
time for new flowering
moment of awakening
when Africans smile and scatter lips
with laughter, joy and happiness
a time for dancing and
wriggling of waists
and embracing one another.
A moment when dreams
come true-
dreams of freedom
and liberty from exploitation.
This is the moment
we breathe new air
not of idleness and rest
but of hard work and progress
as we re-commit ourselves
to rekindling of spirit of
common brotherhood
of all humanity
and to the defense of fatherland
from all new forms of colonialism
and internal oppression.
