Oh, yes, the youths, dem wailing
Oh oui, les jeunes gémissent
And them crying
Et ils pleurent
We heard the voices crying out
[Refrain x 2]
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
Nous avons entendu les voix crier
So we're here sending a message
Dans la vallée en demandant de l'aide
Et nous sommes leur seul espoir
We heard the voices crying out
Alors nous sommes ici en envoyant un message
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
[Couplet 1]
So we're here sending a message
Combien de fois devons-nous voir
How many times do we have to see
Nos frères mourir dans la rue
Our brothers die in street?
D'une balle d'un autre frère
From a bullet by another brother
Essayant de trouver de la nourriture à manger
Trying to find food to eat
Juste pour survivre nous devons être ennemis
C'est comme cela que nous vient la défaite
Just to survive we've gotta be enemies
Alors c'est pourquoi nous delivrons ce message
That is how we get defeat
A chaque chef de ce monde
So that's why we're delivering this message
To every leader in the world
[Refrain x 2]
We heard the voices crying out
[Couplet 2]
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
Combien de fois devrons-nous entendre la voix
So we're here sending a message
Des mères qui pleurent et qui crient
Parce qu'elles ne peuvent pas satisfaire
We heard the voices crying out
Les besoins de leurs propres enfants dans la communauté
In the valley asking for help
Notre peuple pleure et demande de l'aide
And we're their only hope
Et tu n'as toujours rien à faire de ses besoins
So we're here sending a message
J'espère voir un changement un jour
C'est pour chaque chef dans ce monde
How many times should we hear the voice
Of mothers cry and weep
[Refrain x 2]
Because they can't assist
The needs of their own youths in the community
Wa yoy, wa yoy, wa yoy, wa yoy
Leurs gémissements, leurs gémissements
Our people cry and ask for help
Wa yoy, wa yoy, wa yoy, wa yoys
Still you don't care about their needs
Leurs gémissements, leurs gémissements
I hope to see a change some day
Les gens gémissent
This is to every leader in the world
We heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
[Refrain]
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a message
We heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a message
Wa, yoy, wa, yoy, wa, yoy, wa, yoy
Their wailing, their wailing
Wa, yoy, wa, yoy, wa, yoy, wa, yoy
Their wailing, their wailing
How many times do we have to see
Our brothers die in street?
From a bullet by another brother
Trying to find food to eat
Just to survive we've gotta be enemies
That is how we get defeat
So that's why we're delivering this message
To every leader in the world
We heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a message
