Song of The River Gambia A sanctifying sweet song Like that of a flying nightingale Rendering consciences amplified Freeing victims of calumnies And prejudice of anarchy Telling about the good past Inherent in history When equality really exists Human beings were not greedy To own a chattel No slave or master Imagine when imperialism was not born This songs of The River Gambia Of our time and cline Warns against impending convulsion
The Will and Testament Of great ancestors Vouchsafed to the generation Calling for annihilation of bad systems Causing flaws in the terrestrial globe All over a song sings But of The River Gambia To The Gambia for good
Fight but first with our hands, With our mouth - words And then with our hearts To win the long fight for liberation Join the whole world As one people, one heart and one destiny
Surah- Ar-Rum 30-22 "And among His signs is the creation of heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge." Qu'ran
These are strong words. Personally,” annihilation” is strong and I just can’t resist this part of the song:
“Calling for annihilation of bad systems ………
To The Gambia for good
Fight but first with our hands, With our mouth - words And then with our hearts To win the long fight for liberation Join the whole world As one people, one heart and one destiny “
