Luyện nghe bài hát Bonya

Why are we not of who we are? We are black Africans,
descendants of Sunjata Keita, the emperor of the people.
We have our own culture and civilisation, which we must be of.
Instead, we want to like Westerners, Chinese, Asians,
and by bleaching our skin, selling off our land and resources,
and adopting fashions. As a result,
we are and our traditions escape us.
So who will come to our African dignity in our place?

Let's not our back on our traditions
Let's them, be proud of them

Let's not our traditions
We need to welcome them, like a
Let's not turn our on them

They want to destroy our values
Because we are
We lost all our cultural references
they see us as slaves
Our ancestors abandoned us
They want to kill our

Our human warmth is

I bow before our traditions, mother
I pray to the of our ancestors
I bow before our traditions

Why are we not proud of who we
We try to look Europeans, by bleaching our skin
We try to look like the Chinese and sell off our to them
We think being Muslim means to cover ourselves from top to toe
We to look like Indians by applying their bindi to our forehead
Who will on Sunjata's heritage?
I, Diawara Fanta proudly up and
vow to carry on the heritage
Who build Africa for us?
Who will live the African in our stead?
We have lost all our cultural references to culture
If we do not ourselves, no one will ever respect us

Why are we not of who we are?
