Be proud my child, be proud Of your endowed black shining skin, Glistering like the sparkling stars Above in the glooming sky At arrival of the glowing moon. With pride my child, with pride Must you display your beauty Along cities and streets Of Africa, land of bounty and beauty, From coast to coast in the wider world. You are black-skinned my child, Yes you are dark-skinned, Yet the sparkling makes it lovely Whilst gleaming with sprinkles of adoration Across the vast coasts of nations. My child, be proud with your pride, For black, dark shimmering skin, To the world is symbolized as power, Strength, manipulation of creativity, Is an unquantifiable paragon of beauty. « return. |
