Now you will re-join Him
Today you make us alone
As long as you were around
Madiba had a remembering
For sure he is waiting for you
For us it is not time to cry
You paid the tough price
Your struggle was multiple
Caring every day for the revolution
Guarding the struggle great spirit
Raising the kids and daringly fighting
Every moment till the end of apartheid
Fighting and protecting the Name of Madiba
I was among those declaiming
We did risk as students in Europe
Everyday on the bridge of arrest
Crying carelessly against injustice
What joyful night when we met
Simple as only a Princess may
You put the Senegalese robe
And you praise what Senegal did
Now you will re-join the Greatest
You be with Mandela for ever
But be assured you are for eternity
You for ever be the people Queen
You remain in African pantheon
As my grandfather Birago said
People benefactor never die
In our mind and heart eternally
Aziz DIEYE
