There was no point

I know that
I broke your heart
You felt a useless
Women in the earth
Because I was careless

I know that you
Loved me unselfishly
I proudly owned you,
Your feeling selfishly

But there was no point
To block my phone number
Your heart from the craving desire
That your memory will freshly remember 

There was no point to ignore 
That we belong to each other 
The right couple, pretty image 
Formed when we are together

Oh black African

Oh, you African!
 Of cocoa skin and black-haired 
Like your judgments 

You African!
 The lamb in the elections 
Son of the people, wandering in the dying neighborhoods
With your sweet and spoken worldly pretentions 
Hiding your ties, leaning of lions

 Uou African, black as the charcoal 
Of heart as the darkness 
looks at the White! look at the glitter!
but you left the moodle 
Ignored the guides, the witchcraft
And infiltrated yourself in the Avé Mariah 
Becoming despaganized Christian 

 why did you lie to us? Why? 
Why did you hide yourself, why?
 Why did you steal our wills? 
You are not lamb, You are  black wolf 
We are already sinners to burn 
This hell and the upcoming
 And the flames of worms, dead alive 

Ah! Revered Beloved Black
 Heavy are your sins both hidden as revealed 
that they rise with the clamour 
 Of the pregnant women, the virgins and the young men
Without bread,  water, without light 
And you there in your sublime throne glittering 
But only a king has his throne, Jesus the Narazeth 
And this is not thou, black brother

African son

I'm an African son
From my mother's womb
I brought the colour of chocolate 
To be the son of soil

All strong, all articulate 
Born skilled, born the best
And proud of being black
As the night full of stars

Sabbath day

Sanctified and holly day
All mankind happily rejoice
Browsing the bible the whole day
Bowing down to God with praise
Another day is on the corner
Thundering sweet temptations
Humans are crying for divine protection

Diligently watching and waiting
A trumpet to solemnly blow
Yes, here is our salvation
