[Chorus - Nassi]

Home is all I have

Home is on my mind

Always in my head

Africa must survive

[Verse 1 - Médine]

While you hold Africa by the ivory horn

She doesn't have the shape of a gun but of a megaphone

The world is a chessboard where kings reign

Where black pieces are always one step behind

But the water carriers can also manage wells

Schools can fill themselves up even if their brains are leaking

Our history is clear, the birthplace of humanity is the gravestone of Lucy

We change famine in hunger strike

If the beggar works it's to give to the hand

Raise two fists, proud African

Because the people in debt yesterday will be those who earn money today

Our lines of life fill up empty books

And destory Libreville prisons

In Amazigh or in Swahili

Everyone knows to say "Let's be free"

[Bridge - Nassi]

I want to touch the dream which I can't believe

I dreamed of these countries where people had rights

But the illusion came to an end, for lack of power

Hold the reins, that unite our sisters and brothers

[Chorus - Nassi]

[Verse 2 - Médine]

Some lyrics serve as potions

Reveal the light of the brown skinned people

Call me "Médine the first"

I come from a continent that is the breadbasket of the world

I startle the do-gooder

The Saint Bernard sometimes barking up the wrong tree

Out of a friendly hold-up

Africa is wearing the cap of Amilcar Cabral

Wearing the pride like a second skin

Like a leader in the eyes of RDC Congo

I am a tribal tattoo in Fatma's hand

I gather people in Mahatma's way

The cries of the freed Libyans

Soon the slave will file the rungs of Liberia

In Lingala or Arabic

Everyone reads "Liberta"

[Bridge - Nassi]
