WINGS OF GUINEA

Oh white dove
Fly over and above  
The troubled plains of Guinea
Coo peace, halt this coup. 
Guinea needs love  
Now more than ever.

Oh white dove
Flap your tender wings  
Over Yenge, over Conakry
Over Assemblée Nationale.  
Guinea needs love 
Forgive us, white dove.  

We have faltered
Our hearts heavy with regret
Bring solace to our land
Heal the wounds we’ve let.  
Guinea needs love 
Grant us peace, white dove.
