I speak Afrikaans
The Bantu blood runs through my veins
She is my mother, I burst from her seams
I carry the blood of the ancestors in me
I breathe in their bravery.
I am Namibian
I feel the pain of every soul ever lost,
Their struggle made me who I am
I am a child of the soil
Moulded from the mountains of
the Khomas Hochland
I am Namibian
The tongue I speak does not define me
My heartbeat synchronises with the waves of the Atlantic
I represent every people
Look into my eyes, you’ll see I am them
I am Namibian
Damara, Aawambo, these are my roots
My traditions are in the way I carry myself.
I am a proud child of the Land of the Brave
My antennae are grounded in this space
I am Namibian
Melanin poured into me by those who surround me
We are connected
Harmony and peace spread by the glance of a smile
I am Namibian
I will be till the day my vessel gives back to Namibia what she gave to me
Euphoria, from the day I learnt her anthem
