Black President

The year 1963
The people's president
Was taken away
By security men
All dressed in a uniform (Hmmm hmm hmm)
The brutality, brutality (Hmmm hmm hmm)
Oh no, my, my black president (Hmmm hmm hmm)

Him and his comrades (Hmmm hmm hmm)
Were sentenced to isolation (Hmmm hmm hmm)
Many painful years (Hmmm hmm hmm)
Many painful years (Hmmm hmm hmm)
Many painful years (Hmmm hmm hmm)
Of hard labor

They broke rocks (Uhh waah uhh waahhh)
But the spirit was never broken (Uhh waah uhh waahhh)
Never broken (Uhh waah uhh waahhh)
Oh no, my, my black president (Uhh waah uhh waahhh)

Hmmmm
Hmmmm

Hmmmm He broke rocks (Uhh waah uhh waahhh)
But his spirit was never broken (Uhh waah uhh waahhh)
Never broken (Uhh waah uhh waahhh)
Oh wuh woh wuh woh my black president (Uhh waah uhh waahhh)

Now in 1990 (UMadiba)
The people's president (UMandela)
Came out from jail (UMadiba)
Raised up his hand and said (UMandela)
Viva, viva, my people (I am here hmmm)

He walked the long road (UMadiba)
Back, back to freedom (UMandela)
Back to freedom (UMadiba)
Freedom for my black president (I am here hmmm)

Let us rejoice for our president (UMadiba)
Let us sing for our president (UMandela)
Let us pray for our president (UMadiba)
Let us sing, let us dance (UMandela)
For Madiba, Madiba's freedom (I am here hmmm)
