The strength of you kicks,
Only your mother knows,
As you kicked about in her womb
Eager to meet the world.
The strength of your back,
The land can testify,
As you mercilessly toiled to survive,
Watering the land with your sweat.
The strength of your arms,
Only your lover can know,
As you tightly embraced,
As though in fear of loosing each other.
You are truly strong son of Africa,
We have seen your strength
We have felt your kick
We have tasted your sweat
We have enjoyed your embrace
Son of Africa
