Meanwhile I noticed what you think is sharing All proceeds are yours, we share all the labour. You promised common riches, now we are your slaves But my family one day will stand up and fight.
Take a seat my white friend, I now want to know, There has been so much space, so much room to go Let’s just live, somewhere else, here are so many places Now I slash with my spade some justice in your faces.
Refrain
Zwischenteil Don’t tell me I can go where I want, When a chain keeps me bound to the confederacy I become what I haven’t been yet, My mighty ally’s whip leaves me dumb and lazy.
You rape my wife, take my land, keep me utmost low, When I try to restrain you burn down my sown. You don’t allow me to learn how to educate my races Now I slash with my spade some justice in your faces.
Refrain
Our white friends introduced their selves as neighbours, They lead us to their coalmine now we’re doing all the labours
I never had really guessed it would be this way, To live in co-existence, a live confederated Why can’t you just let us live, here are so many places Now I slash with my spade some justice in your faces.
