Why this song?
"Mama Africa", as Miriam Makeba was known, was one of the great voices to protest South Africa's apartheid regime. - Jenna
Lyrics
My people, my people
open your eyes
And answer the call of the drum
Frelimo, Frelimo
Samora Machel
Samora Machel has come
Maputo, Maputo
Home of the brave
Our nation will soon be as one
Frelimo, Frelimo
Samora Machel
Samora Machel has won
Mozambique aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
Mozambique aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
Mozambique aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
Mozambique aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
And to those
Who have given their lives
Praises to thee
Husband and wives
All thy children
Shall reap what you sow
This continent is home
My brothers and sisters
Stand up and sing
Eduardo Mondlane is not gone
Frelimo, Frelimo
Your eternal flame
Has shown us the light of dawn
Mozambique aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
In Zimbabwe, mama aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
In Botswana, aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
In Zambia, aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
In Angola, aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
In Namibia, aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
In South Africa, aluta continua
Aluta continua, continua
