African Children |
| African children don’t cry no more |
| African people don’t die no more |
| Politician don’t lie no more |
| We haffi stand up |
| And go for a brighter tomorrow |
| So don’t cry no more |
| African people don’t die no more |
| You know the time for peace is now |
| We have to stand up |
| And go for a brighter tomorrow |
| Soldados enanos — hasta los dientes armados |
| Matan a hermanas y a hermanos — y solo con ocho anos |
| No hay nadie que les ofresca calor — tampoco hay tiempo para |
| Calmar el dolor — suenan siempre por un futuro mejor |
| Pero cada dia es peor peor y peor |
| Now we want no see no bredren and sistren dem dead |
| But down in Africa blood run redder than red |
| Civil war destruction and violence |
| But this time the killers are dem little children |
| There ain’t no faith and no conscience no more |
| Just total elimination of hope and future |
| To many black people killing each other |
| We have to safe humanity and culture |
| African children don’t cry no more |
| African people don’t die no more |
| Politician don’t lie no more |
| We have to stand up |
| And go for a brighter tomorrow |
| So don’t cry no more |
| African people don’t die no more |
| You know the time for peace is now |
| We have to stand up |
| And go for a brighter tomorrow |
| Uganda is where my father come from |
| I love my people and I love this land |
| But there is a problem that a gwaan for too long |
| Some rebels inna north them keep fighting on |
| Inna darkness of the night the evil army it comes |
| Dem break inna the house and steal the mother their sons |
| Dem train dem as a soldier give them brainwash and guns |
| And force dem to kill dem own families oh lord |
| Don’t keep looking away — don’t just say this is not your problem |
| We all take part in the same bloody game — it’s up to us to make a change now |
| African children don’t cry no more |
| African people don’t die no more |
| Politician don’t lie no more |
| We have to stand up |
| And go for a brighter tomorrow |
| So don’t cry no more |
| African people don’t die no more |
| You know the time for peace is now |
| We have to stand up |
| And go for a brighter tomorrow |
| Soldados enanos — hasta los dientes armados |
| Matan a hermanas y hermanos |
| Hablo de ninos africanosque se ensangran las manos |
| Les quitaron su ninez su papa y mama y hogar |
| Ahora solos de un momento a otro les toca madurar |
| A donde vamos a parar — este conflicto hay tratar de acabar |
| Don’t keep looking away — don’t just say this is not your problem |
| We all take part in the same bloody game |
| It’s up to us to make a change now |
| African children don’t cry no more |
| African people don’t die no more |
| Politician don’t lie no more |
| We have to stand up |
| And go for a brighter tomorrow |
| So don’t cry no more |
| African people don’t die no more |
| You know the time for peace is now |
| We have stand up |
| And go for a brighter tomorrow |
