Xeex, sama xarit, xeex
Ngir moom sa bopp, xeex
Xeex be dee xeex
Ginaaw loolu nak, xeex...

Fight, my friend, fight
To free yourself, fight
Fight 'til death, fight
Even after that, fight,

Fight, my kinfolk, fight
To know yourself, fight
Fight 'til destruction, fight
Even after that, fight,

Rebel, my friend, rebel
To protect yourself, rebel
Rebel 'til victory, rebel
Even after gaining victory, rebel,

Rebel, my kinfolk, rebel
To reject evil government, rebel
Rebel to be righteous, rebel
Rebel, my kinfolk, rebel,

Dare, my elder, dare
To protect your people, dare
Dare to revolt, dare
Dare, my elder, dare,

Dare, my young one, dare
To avenge, my young one, dare
Dare to avenge, dare
Dare, my young one, dare,

Avenge, my people, avenge!
To fulfill Our duty, avenge
Avenge til victory, avenge
Avenge, my people, avenge
Avenge, my people, avenge...
Revolt, my people, revolt
Revolt to make things straight, revolt
To follow Our path, revolt
Water does not forget it's path, revolt
Revolt to Avenge! Revolt!
Revolt to Avenge, Revolt!

Avenge Our Ancestors, Avenge!
Avenge Ourselves, Avenge!
Avenge, my friend, Avenge,
If WE revolt, also, avenge,
Revolt, my friend, revolt,
Avenge, my friend...avenge!

Fight, my friend, fight
To free yourself, fight
Fight 'til death, fight
Even after that, fight...

htp Recovering Aa,

yeah, my homies don't like the language b/c of that "x" sound...i tell them they don't have to speak it...but i'm motivated to learn it...once you get past the french and a-rab dominated influence there's a wealth of information as Seex (cheikh) Anta Diop taught US...
