They broke into our borders,
Disrupt our peace,
Seize our land,
Confiscate our resources,
And put us in obscurity,
They took away our love boat,
And planted within us a seed of discord,
Our pride was trampled upon,
They took from our mouths the songs of joy,
And hung them on the roofs,
So that our hands would not reach,
Bound in shackles and chains,
Being surpressed by an upper hand,
We could raise no head,
Strangled by the string of overwhelming force,
Embittered by the brutality of the white hand,
We felt like gold in the smith's furnance...
