Sixty-Four Welcomes
A song made by Uncle Tony
(Oye! South Sudan!)
Sixty-four tribes, one people!
Salaam lekum! (Kush!)
From Juba city to Malakal
We greet each other, big and small
Dinka people say, "Ci bak" and smile
Nuer brothers shout, "Male mi" for a mile
Bari people call out, "Kudu ko" today
One nation, one love, no other way!
Sixty-four languages, one big sound! (Oye!)
In South Sudan, love is all around! (Kush!)
"Salaam lekum!" we say to you
"Yee baibai!" we are shining through!
From the Nile to the mountain high
We raise our hands, we touch the sky!
Zande say "Mbi ku roni" with grace
Madi and Acholi shining in this place
Lotuko say "Abasiri" to the crowd
We are sixty-four voices, and we are proud!
Shabaab and banat, make we dance and sing
Feel the rhythm that the rababah bring!
Sixty-four languages, one big sound! (Oye!)
In South Sudan, love is all around! (Kush!)
"Salaam lekum!" we say to you
"Yee baibai!" we are shining through!
From the Nile to the mountain high
We raise our hands, we touch the sky!
One nation! One South Sudan!
Sixty-four tribes, we stand as one!
Salaam, salaam!
Oye!
(Shabaab!)
