Be angry, angry one!
Be angry at the clouds the mountains!
Be angry at the sky and the rivers!
Be angry at the sea and the trees!
You the elephant!

You, whose loud trumpeting heralded the birth the world
You, whose last trumpeting will herald the of the world we know
Be angry, great elephant
You, who are hunted by those who fear you
You, are sought by those who should respect you

You, tusks are the ploughs that showed our grandmothers the
You, whose great feet pounded the earth, the hard into powder in ancient times, so that green might grow
Be angry, elephant, shout at the gods Africa
Be angry, elephant, shout at the grey ghosts our forefathers

Be angry, elephant, and shout at the of modern days who do not do anything shield you from the murderer and the thief.
