Tonight the world will sleep

But hunger will not wait

For promises we made

We share one soul

We share one land

We have one time to understand

We are one humankind

Brothers side by side

We’ll have no regret

We will not forget

We are one humankind

Sisters side by side

We’ll have no regret

We will not forget

(Arabic)

Samihna ya allah

Forgive us o lord

Wa irrhamna ya rabbah

Have mercy on us o lord

Wa imnah rizqaka lil-afwah

Give your bounty to the mouths

Wa abi’d anha kul al-aah

And keep away from them all the moans and groans

Our words must count

Hunger will not wait

For promises we made

We share one soul

We share one land

We have one time to understand

We are one humankind

Brothers side by side

We’ll have no regret

We will not forget

We are one humankind

Sisters side by side

We’ll have no regret

We will not forget

Samihna ya allah

Forgive us o lord

Wa irrhamna ya rabbah

Have mercy on us o lord

Wa imnah rizqaka lil-afwah

Give your bounty to the mouths

Wa abi’d anha kul al-aah

And keep away from them all the moans and groans

(Swalihi)

Sisi binadamu

We are humankind

Wa roho moja sisi binadamu

With the same spirit as one humankind

Wa nchi moja sisi binadamu

With the same land as one humankind

Wa nisa moja kwaroho moja, nchi moja

With one spirit as all, the same land

Sisi binadamu

We are humankind

Wa roho moja sisi binadamu

With the same spirit as one humankind

Wa nchi moja sisi binadamu

With the same land as one humankind

Wa nisa moja kwaroho moja, nisa moja

With one spirit as all, the same as all

Our words must count

Hunger will not wait

For promises we made
