But your blood floows in my veins

Your beautiful black blood that irrigates the fields

The blood of your sweet

The sweat of your work

The work of your slavery

The slavery of your children

Africa tell me Africa

Is this you this back that is bent

This back that breaks under the weight of humiliation

This back trembling with red scars

And saying yes to the whip under the midday sun

But a grave voice answers me

Impetuous son that tree young and strong

That tree there

Insplen did loneliness amidst white and faded flowers

That is Africa of your Africa

That grows again patiently obstinately

And its fruit gradually acquires

The bitter taste of liberty.
