(intro)

Kikulu nyo Buli sekinoomu Okumanya gyenvudde we Kuba kizulidwa nti Okusomoka bulungi ebiseera byo eby'omumaaso Olina okudako emabega nokumikiriza Newekenenya Ebyafayo Osobole okutegera bulungi Eby'omumaaso

(poem)

How can I know where am going, if I don't know where I came from? How do I get to the market, if I can't remember which house I left from? How can I journey into the future when the past is not clear? When you're lost, they tell you to retrace your steps Find your way back there And to be honest, we are lost Help us, we are lost Who are we? Aren't our ancestors kings and queens of old? Now tell me. Aren't we the ones from the continent blessed with more than gold? How do we find our selves? Go back and get it How do we free ourselves? Go back and find it Sankofa Go back and own it Sankofa Go back you know it To find your way to your future Journey to your past Your path is in your past And in your past, lies your present Give your past your presence And in the future, you shall find that present Sankofa
