African People
To high African people
To high African tribe
To high African people
To high African tribe
They took us away from our father's land
And brought us to slave on their wicked land
They made us work all day and night
With no freedom, and no rights
With no freedom, and no rights
To high African people
To high African tribe
To high African people
African people, know your culture
They took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young and old
But some-oh day we will overcome
When Jah shall redeem us
When Jah shall redeem us (so)
To high African people
To high-high-high African people
To high African people
To high-high-high African people
They took us away from our father's land
And brought us to slave on their wicked land
They made us work all day and night
With no freedom, and no rights
With no freedom, and no rights (so)
To high-high-high African people
To high, to high African tribe
Pueblo Africano
A la gran gente africana
A la gran tribu africana
A la gran gente africana
A la gran tribu africana
Nos llevaron lejos de la tierra de nuestros padres
Y nos trajeron a esclavizarnos en su tierra malvada
Nos hicieron trabajar todo el día y la noche
Sin libertad, y sin derechos
Sin libertad, y sin derechos
A la gran gente africana
A la gran tribu africana
A la gran gente africana
Gente africana, conoce tu cultura
Nos quitaron nuestra lengua nativa
Y les enseñaron su inglés a nuestros jóvenes y ancianos
Pero algún día superaremos esto
Cuando Jah nos redima
Cuando Jah nos redima (así)
A la gran gente africana
A la gran-gran-gran gente africana
A la gran gente africana
A la gran-gran-gran gente africana
Nos llevaron lejos de la tierra de nuestros padres
Y nos trajeron a esclavizarnos en su tierra malvada
Nos hicieron trabajar todo el día y la noche
Sin libertad, y sin derechos
Sin libertad, y sin derechos (así)
A la gran-gran-gran gente africana
A la gran, a la gran tribu africana
