Song of Lumumba


Congo, a distant black continent.
Congo, you flaming heart cry!
Congo, colonial horde
Killed your young hero!

Chorus:
The fire and smoke Lumumba us
Lumumba us, our brother battle!
Lumumba - a name! Lumumba - the banner!
Lumumba living in the heart of Africa!

Congo, burning your land now,
Congo thy holy anger has not disappeared!
Congo, where millions will stand in the battle
It boasts the world your struggle!

Chorus

Congo, the enemies you will not suffocate!
Congo, you will win and you will live!
Congo, we get up the wall behind you,
You will help the globe!

Chorus
