Afrika Obote
Oh ! People
The heavenly sun has gone
And a long, long time ago
非洲欧博特
哦!人民
天上的太阳消失了
很久很久以前
Yes! People
The proof is in the cries
The proof is in the rising tide
The proof is in the length of time.
And since a long, long time ago…
Some are captured by the moon
Others have made atomic bombs
While others have had revolutions for the love of liberty
And on our side, what are we doing?
What are we doing in a long, long time…
是的!人民
证据就在呐喊声中
证据就在高涨的浪潮中
证据就在时间的长河里
很久很久以来
有的被月球捕获
有的制成了原子弹
而其他的则为热爱自由而进行革命
在我们这边,我们在做什么?
在很长很长一段时间里我们在做什么?
The first born of Africa says our mother:
You must unite!
But the Rain, the Rain has washed away the base of unity,
Has dismembered the country
Hollowing out the east and its mountains
Pounding the west and the oceans.
我们的母亲说
非洲原住民
你们必须团结起来
但是这场雨冲走了团结的基础
肢解了我们的国家
掏空着东部和山区
冲击着西部和海洋
And yet I have thought: Tomorrow
We shall be united
Tomorrow, Tomorrow we will be free
All brothers from east to west
All from the same country, of the same mother Afrika.
然而我一直在想
明天我们将团结在一起
我们将获得自由
从东到西所有的兄弟们
我们来自同一个国家
同一个非洲母亲
