This
is
the
unknown
grave
C'est
la
tombe
inconnue
The
one
who
died
maintaining
his
might
Celui
qui
est
mort
en
maintenant
sa
puissance
His
will
being
so
strong
and
musically
inclined
Sa
volonté
étant
si
forte
et
musicalement
inclinée
His
sad
melodies
coming
out
like
smoke
from
the
wood
Ses
mélodies
tristes
sortent
comme
de
la
fumée
du
bois
And
he
sang
Et
il
a
chanté
Mayibuye
iAfrica,
sing
now
Africa
Mayibuye
iAfrica,
chante
maintenant
Afrique
Sing
loud,
sing
to
the
people
Chante
fort,
chante
au
peuple
Let
them
give
something
to
the
world
and
not
just
take
Laisse-les
donner
quelque
chose
au
monde
et
ne
prends
pas

we'll
ring
the

when
you
come
back

les
cloches
quand
tu
reviendras
