La lune qui se lève
Sur l'île de gorée
C'est la même lune qui
Sur tout le monde se lève
Mais la lune de gorée
A une couleur profonde
Qui n'existe pas du tout
Dans d'autres parts du monde
C'est la lune des esclaves
La lune de la douleur
Mais la peau qui se trouve
Sur les corps de gorée
C'est la même peau qui couvre
Tous les hommes du monde
Mais la peau des esclaves
A une douleur profonde
Qui n'existe pas du tout
Chez d'autres hommes du monde
C'est la peau des esclaves
Un drapeau de liberté
