BECAUSE YOU ARE MINE

BECAUSE YOU ARE MINE

Because you are mine
I sing the patriotic song
To fill my heart with flames
To feel proud of being a black
A black of the promised heritage.

Because you are mine
My eyes speak of your landscapes
Beautiful than the paramount princess
Your beauty invade the eyes of strangers
Like naughty eyes to the swaying hips.

Because you are mine
I tell your tales with majestic tongue
Telling Olduvai Gorge's first human skull
Egyptian pyramids, calendar technologies
The wonders of Kilimanjaro, Mawenzi hills

Because you are mine
I sing the lullaby soothing songs
To let you sleep and stop the cries
Pained by merciless mothers and slaps
I play ngoma for it's my music you taught.

Because you are mine
White teeth count 32 for classic smile
Your name is sweet in my bitter mouth
Your star illuminate from top of mountain
Your scars are the pillow of my happiness.
