La storia ci racconta quando in africa il progresso
History tells us when progress in Africa.
Veniva da lontano su una nave affamata
Came from afar on a hungry ship
La nave si mangiava la fiera razza nera
The ship ate the proud black race
Condita con le lacrime, il sangue e le catene
Seasoned with tears, blood, and chains
E mentre si cullava sulle onde del gran mare
And as it rocked on the waves of the great sea
Comincia il lungo viaggio per poterla vomitare
Began the long voyage to be able to vomit it up
La rotta degli schiavi per l'america del nord
The slave route to North America
L'unico viaggio gratis che gli hanno fatto fare
The only free journey they made him take
Legato e incatenato alla rabbia del dolore
Bound and chained in the rage of pain
Lo spiritual dei neri percorre tutto il mare
The spiritual of the blacks travels across the sea
E i pesci che ascoltano quel canto africano
And the fish that hear that African song
Si incazzano e saltando cominciano a cantare
They get pissed off and jump and begin to sing
Squalo uno, squalo due e tre
Shark one, shark two and three
Mangiate tutti i bianchi cattivi come i re
Eat all the bad whites like kings
Mangiate pure razzisti e sfruttatori
Eat up racists and exploiters
Sarà una buona dieta per la terra
It will be a good diet for the earth
'guarda un nero là, un altro laggiù'
'Look a black man there, another over there'
Sono a casa tua e non li sopporti più
They're in your house and you can't stand them no more
Ora pensi che 'Ognuno a casa sua'
Now you think 'Every man to his own home'
Corri corri a chiamare i guardiani
You run and call the guardians
Scudo crociato di certo ti darà
Crusader shield will surely give you
Tutto il coraggio di affrontare la viltà
All the courage to face cowardice
Per molestare la gente che lavora
To harass working people
Solo perché ha la pelle nera
Just because they have black skin
