Afrika Obote
Oh ! People
The heavenly sun has gone
And a long, long time ago
非洲歐博特
哦!人民
天上的太陽消失了
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
證據就在吶喊聲中
證據就在高漲的浪潮中
證據就在時間的長河裏
很久很久以來
有的被月球捕獲
有的制成了原子彈
而其他的則為熱愛自由而進行革命
在我們這邊，我們在做什麽？
在很長很長壹段時間裏我們在做什麽？
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.
我們的母親說
非洲原住民
妳們必須團結起來
但是這場雨沖走了團結的基礎
肢解了我們的國家
掏空著東部和山區
沖擊著西部和海洋
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.
然而我壹直在想
明天我們將團結在壹起
我們將獲得自由
從東到西所有的兄弟們
我們來自同壹個國家
同壹個非洲母親
