Dark blue-almost crystal clear morn
Water drops off the large ears of leaves,
Tip! tip! tip! how beautiful!
Caterpillars-green as any green,deep green
Oh! how I yearn for such a world,
If only I could get.
Birds that fly high in the horizon
Above the burdened race of mankind,
Burdened not by the ceaseless search of money,
You fly high up in the blue stripped sky-
Carefree!
Oh! how I yearn for such a world
If only I could get.
You vultures that eat what you don't work for,
How i envy you for you work not
But the invisible power provides for you!
you fly down from above,deep from the blue horizon
And descend onto the sin infested land of man and eat!
Oh! how I yearn for such a world
if only I could get.
Oh! Eden! garden of Eden!
Where once lived my two ancestors
Green and peaceful and calm
Where only reigned love
Animals, birds,insects and all that have life,
there they walked hand in hand,even a lion smiled with man,
Oh! how I yearn for such a world
If only I could get
You great river, great as you are oh river Nile
All through the continent you rush,
Noisy and colorless and free!
You that save Egyptian lives,Sudanese lives
I envy you,for if i had been you,
I wouldn't be living in vain
For i would have been proud to have saved lives
Oh! give me the world I yearn for or die!
