() We are the slave descendants of the African race The African race, the African race We are the slave descendants of the African race We're proud, it's no disgrace Our forefathers were taken away Taken away, taken away They were bound in ships and shackled all the way Like baggage, brought to the west They swapped my brother now Also my sister too For a drink of wine So they could drink and be merry So they could drink and be merry I speak Amharic My sister speak Swahili They put us all together now That's why we can't understand That's why we can't understand We are the slave descendants of the African race The African race, the African race We are the slave descendants of the African race We're proud, it's no disgrace We're proud of the African race We're proud, it's no disgrace We're proud of the African race We're proud, it's no disgrace
