about

Lyrics from:
Agostinho Neto
"The Grieved Land"

lyrics

ANGOLA (Ndongo)

In the tearful woes of
ancient and the modern slave
In the degrading sweat
of impure dance Of other seas
In the infamous sensation of
the stunning perfume of the Flower
Crushed in the forest
By the wickedness of iron and fire
the grieved ...
In the dream soon undone
in jinglings of gaolers’ keys
And in the stifled laughter and
victorious voice of laments
And in the unconscious brilliance
of hidden sensations
Of the grieved lands of Africa
theyre Alive
In themselves and with us alive
They bubble up in dreams
Decked with dances by baobabs over balances
In the perpetual alliance of everything that lives
They shout out the sound of life they Shout it
Even the corpses thrown up by the Atlantic
In putrid offering of incoherence
And death and in the clearness Of rivers...
In the harmonious sound of consciences
Contained in the honest blood of men
In the strong desire of men
In the sincerity
In the pure and simple rightness of the stars’ Existence
They live
The grieved lands of Africa
Because we are living
And are imperishable particles
Of the grieved lands of Africa.
