Ik zag Turken aan de Schelde
Marokkanen in de stad van Gent
en 'k hoord' op de markt van Brussel
Algerijnen met een vreemd accent
In Keulen zag ik Chinesen
magere mannen uit Pakistan
In Londen Sikhs uit India
Met nen dikke tulband an
Ik zag naakt' Amazone-Indianen
ik zag Crees uit Noord-Canada
En uit Lubumbashi kwam Deda
een prinses uit zwart Afrika
Ik zag Bantoes in ons cafeetje
ik zag Tutsi's op de tram
ik zag Zoeloes dansen en springen
en roff'len op den tamtam
Ik zag Egyptische matrozen
in de haven van Rotterdam
ik zag Portugese Joden
in de winkels van Amsterdam
Ik zag Inka's in Oostende
Chilenen op het Brugse Zand
daar speeld' een zigeunerorkestje
van een volk zonder vaderland
Al de kinders van moeder aarde
op charango en met gamelan
ze roepen en zingen aan ons deuren
doet open bange blanke man (3x)
