Our lovely motherland, our pride,our home
Africa ,O,sweet Mama Africa
Your offsprings are in tears and pain
Awaiting for your generous returned.

Rise up,O Mama Africa, rise up,
Rise up and fight for your beloved children
For you known what they have faced in the past,
And you are still aware of their present situation.

Africa,Africa, Africa, O,Mama Africa,
Your innocent children were slaughtered in the past.
Husbands snatched from wives and children,
While young men and boys were forced to hard labour, O mama where were you?

O, sweet Mama Africa, sweet Mama Africa,
Our pain and suffering you have heard and saw.
Your children, people and nation are calling on you
Mama Africa O Mama Africa come back and rescue us.
