Key Lyrics

The year 1963

The people's president

Was taken away by security men

All dressed in a uniform

The brutality, brutality

Oh no, my, my black president


Him and his comrades

Were sentenced to isolation

For many painful years

For many painful years

Many painful years

Of hard labor


They broke rocks

But the spirit was never broken

Never broken

Oh no, my, my black president
