| A memory filled with joy and hope | B |
| Where my brothers and I | C |
| Often coiled | D |
| Where am I to find this place | E |
| How am I to set my face | E |
| If nothing seems to ever bless | F |
| The hearts of my people | G |
| - | |
| The place I called home | A |
| Now wretched | H |
| Torn down to pieces | I |
| Burnt down to ashes | I |
| Nothing left for me to look onto | J |
| - | |
| My brothers have broken necks | K |
| They are limping | L |
| My people have nothing to eat | M |
| Except the stench | N |
| That comes from the cold bodies | O |
| That lie along the streets | P |
| Gunshots have become music to my people | G |
| That brings melancholy | Q |
| Painful sorrows | R |
| And overflowing tears | S |
| - | |
| The nation has no more to give | T |

| The place that held memories | O |
| Of joy and hope | B |
| Who will hear my voice | Z |
| And come to my rescue | J |
| To save the people that I love | A2 |
| Where will peace and restoration | U |
| Of untimely and unlimited happiness | B2 |
| Come from | C2 |
| If we do not unite | D2 |
| Become one and save a soul | E2 |
| - | |
| The child the message to the future | Y |
| Never spared | F2 |
| Who will protect the future | Y |
| If we all show our backs on the people | G |
| In the place I called home | A |
| My home not looking | L |
| Like my home anymore | G2 |
