Let them wallow

In the mud like hogs

And add one more stain on the white coat of

Our History;

Let them fill their bellies

With our oil and sip our

Wine in gold cups; let their

Paunches grow and smoothen

Like

Pregnant women’s,

Let them add a new stain on the white coat of

Our History;

Let them ride their luxury on our

Unhappy roads; let them fly

And flaunt their

Riches in our sultry and furious air;

Let them add a new stain on the white coat of

Our History

Let their fleets taper from the

Beauty of the Atlantic to

The glory of

Mount Fako; let them wallow in the mud;

We will ride our natural

Cars, eat wild

Honey from our generous forests and

Muster strength to

To say one word:

Enough.

Let them wallow in the

Mud like hogs

Let them add a new stain on the white coat of

Our History.
