Remember the Motherland

Papas come back
Mamas talk to papa
To come back
Come back to our motherland
Papas look at your sons and daughters
Displaced yesterday
From that night shooting and bombing
We have no house to shelter
From the rain and sun
Papas come back
Mama talks to Papa
To come back
Come back to motherland

I cannot play among my age mates
I am abused and humiliated
Now I am suffering from stress
Because of you papa
Papas come back
Mamas talk to papa
To come back
Come back to the motherland

Papa with this Sudan peace
Come back
We forget the past
And concentrate on the present
And the future
Look forward to develop
Our society
Papas come back
Mamas talk to papa
Come back to the motherland

Look at your sons and daughters
Runaways,
Running away for their dear lives
Seek refuge
In the neighboring countries
Others in Diaspora
Waiting for the day like this
When you will come back
To the motherland
Papas come back
Mamas talk to papa
To come back
Come back to the motherland
Papas look at Ethiopia
Refugee camp
Full of your daughters
Kenya refugee camps
Full of your sons
Uganda refugee camp
Full of your cousins and uncles
Because of your terrorizing act papa
And your command
Manipulated by our main enemy
Papas come back
Mamas come back
Come back to the motherland
