Текст песни Восточный Экспресс - Томас Санкара

THOMAS SANKARA

From century to century, rainy times

Tearing apart the black continent

But in one country poor and unhappy

An honest president has appeared

His banner is a hoe and "Kalashnikov"

He became loved by the poor

After all, he gave the hope of happiness

"Motherland or death, we will win"

But suddenly he left - betrayal ruined

You couldn't cope alone

After all, that time was not yours yet

On a rotten tree, a young leaf

In the age of hucksters, betrayal, profit

And it's harder to be honest

Know, captain, your ideas are alive

You are the most worthy of people
