Dust in the air
I start to sing
Belet de
Yani malu belet de
Belet de
I left my homeland
when the drums still beat
I carry a small bag
and a beating heart
In a Ugandan camp
we guard our hopes at night
I’m in my twenties
chasing a brighter future
Hold on
hold on
we’ll rise again
Our stories light the night like trains of rain
Hope will carry us through the rain and pain
Inflation bites
corruption stains the dawn
But my voice rises up
singing on and on
Refugees whisper prayers in the dusty air
I sing for a tomorrow we all can share
We rise together
Lahadi
Salam rejah Fi belet de
Belet de
