 UGANDAN

Oh Uganda, when I look through the windows I see your beauty

And when I open my lungs to breathe in, I breathe in love and warmth

Whenever I set my foot, I encounter able leaders.                               

 your land has always given me ground to stand on

You represent a true black man, a democrat

Dedicated to serve mankind tirelessly in truth,

Your blood is an African  pure blood circulating

in your towns, villages, water streams, mountains.

Your sun, has brightened my path, wherever I have gone

Though with eyes closed, you stayed bright in my mind

You make me steadier that I stumble not

You rejuvenate my energy to move on

In my every imagination, I imagine how fertile you are

 In my dreams, in my vision I see your greatness.

to the point that you have fed me till am grown up

Me, my ancestors and my neighbors and everybody

Adore you and only you.

Oh Uganda, how compassionate you are that you have welcomed

Even visitors to your branches to feed from your basket.

All types of good colors symbolize you

Always blameless as virgins in their puberty.

When I thought I would drown, You rescued me with your loving hand

 even when my neighbors planned to attack me,

You shielded me like a mother shielding her child

You’ve fathered me since I was born

I love you Uganda, the pearl of Africa,

the country of a fertile ground

Peace prevail over Uganda

and unity abundant among its citizens
