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, we must be proud of.
Instead, we want to like Westerners, Chinese, Asians,
and Arabs by bleaching our skin, off our land and resources,
and their fashions. As a result,
we are lost and our traditions us.
So who come to defend our African dignity in our place?

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

Let's not abandon our
We need to them, like a miracle
Let's not our back on them

They to destroy our traditional values
we are Africans
We have lost all our cultural
Because see us as slaves
Our have abandoned us
They want to kill our
Because we are
Our human is disappearing

I bow before our traditions, mother
I pray to the spirits of our
I bow our ancestral traditions

Why are we not of who we are?
We try to like 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 want to look like Indians by applying their to our forehead
Who will carry on Sunjata's
I, Diawara Fanta proudly up and
vow to carry on the ancestral
Who build Africa for us?
Who live the African life in our stead?
We lost all our cultural references to western culture
If we do not ourselves, no one will ever respect us

Why are we not of who we are?
