Africa of whom my grandmother

sings
On the banks of the distant
river
I have never known you
But your blood flows in my
veins
Your beautiful black blood that
irrigates the fields
The blood of your sweat
The sweat of your work
The work of your slavery
The slavery of your children
Africa tell me Africa
Is this you this back that is bent
This back that breaks under the
weight of humiliation
This back trembling with red
scars
And saying yes to the whip
under the midday sun
But a grave voice answers me
Impetuous son that tree young
and strong
That tree there
In splendid loneliness amidst
white and faded flowers
That is Africa your Africa
That grows again patiently
obstinately

And its fruit gradually acquires

The bitter taste of liberty
