Oh mother,
What a wound you've sustained!
You are meek and kind,
The foes still struck at you.
Awoke by the news,
My cry hits across the neighbourhood.
Ghana mourned with me,
And I refused comfort from Benin.
Whoever mocks my sobs
Let her wish for such calamity,
And feel the sting of the flame.
As for me, I'll always
Remembar you in my prayers.
Restoration of equanimity
To Great Britain will always
Be my thirst, and my tears
Will surely part through the skies,
That your daughter, the "Giant of Africa"
Might smile the moment you're justified
Against the AL-QAEDA.
