lirik lagu ohun oju ri – beautiful nubia

ohun oju nri enu o ma ni le so o
ohun oju ri omo o ma ni le so bo dele o
ohun oju nri enu o ma ni le so o
ohun oju ri omo o ma ni le so bo dele o

they say we’re free and colonisation is a thing of the past
but look around you people
time is going by and we still can’t get it right
they say our land is the home of poverty and disease
and we’re treated like second*class citizens of the
world
our leaders run around begging for help
when the solutions are right here at homе with us
the future of the this land is in thе hands
of every man and woman, young and old
everyone of us has a share in the blame for the failure of society

see, we’re still slaves economically
we’re still slaves politically
we’re still slaves ideologically

but i’ve got a song to sing
je a gbe’ra kuro o ninu ogbun aye
emura o, e so’ra, e dakun o, a ma njin si koto
je a gbe’ra kuro o ninu ogbun aye
eso’ra o, a ma njin si koto lo o
we’re trying to fix things from the top to the ground
but the way to solve it is from the ground upwards
lasting change begins at the individual level
everyone dips in the pot but no one replenishes
have you forgotten the rules?
without love there can be no truth, justice and peace
we must turn our backs on selfishness and greed
go back to our culture of community * “all for one
and one for all”
not just every man to his own
we must go back to the land
a nation that cannot feed itself
will always remain subservient to others

believe me
we’re still slaves to material wealth
we’re still slaves to religion
we’re still slaves to foreign ideals

but i’ve got a song to sing
je a gbe’ra kuro o ninu ogbun aye
emura o, e so’ra, e dakun o, a ma njin si koto
je a gbe’ra kuro o ninu ogbun aye
eso’ra o, a ma njin si koto lo o

this land will be a great place one day
a place where dreams come true yeah
our hope is in the children
teach them to love their fellow man
and never to judge anyone by the colour of their skin, religion or language
teach to be proud of our culture
and the values of hardwork and perseverance, honest and humility
treat every child like your own
for every child, no matter the circumstances of
his birth is a beacon to this glorious future
teach them to be strong in love
and never look down on themselves
teach them to be strong
and learn to hold their heads up wherever they may go
teach the children to sing this song of pride
and let them sing it, sing it loud and clear:
i’m not ashamed to be who i am
i’m not ashamed * i’m a proud african
i’m not afraid * i’m a child of the most high
i’m not ashamed and i’ve got a song to sing
but i’ve got a song to sing

ohun oju nri enu o ma ni le so o
ohun oju ri omo o ma ni le so bo dele o
ohun oju nri enu o ma ni le so o
ohun oju ri omo o ma ni le so bo dele o
