about

Translation:

I am African
You are African
It's not the colour of your skin
It's not the language you speak
It's not about where your origin
It's about where you're born
This is the way we have to think

Let's stop the mentality of division
We are all children of Africa

He is African
And she is African
It's not the colour of your skin
It's not the language you speak
It's not about where your origin
It's about where you're born
This is the way we have to think

Let's stop the confrontations
Especially if the idea of Peace is what we preach

Everybody is African
And she is African
It's not the colour of your skin
It's not the language you speak
It's not about where your origin
It's about where you're born
This is the way we have to think

lyrics

Translation:

Mimi niko mutoto ya Africa
Wewe yuko mutoto ya Africa
Aina rangi ya ngozi Aina ruga na sema
Aina fazi ndi toka Lakini ni fazi nilizalikwa
ndukwangu jno vile ina fayi kuwaza umu mumaisha
mimi niko mutoto ya afrika
yoyoyo yoyoyo binapita mama
damu inanguka yawatoto ya bantu inapita mama
mitoni inayala na maiti eh inapita mama juyanini eh
 
yeye yuko mutoto ya africa
na ye eko mutoto ya afrka
Aina rangi ya ngozi Aina ruga ana sema
Aina fazi ali toka Lakini ni fazi alizalikwa
ndukwangu jno vile ina fayi kuwaza umu mumaisha
muache eh, ile muache ile mambo ya kuikabula
mimi niko mutoto ya afrika
Naliye naliye naliye…
  
Acha ile mambo, ile mambo ya ukonvi
Mukumbuke kama wote tunaka utumilivu

Wote eko mutoto ya afrka
yeye eko mutoto ya africa
Aina rangi ya ngozi Aina ruga tuna sema
Aina fazi tulitoka Lakini ni fazi tulizalikwa
ndukwangu jno vile ina fayi kuwaza umu mumaisha
