You know they don't hear
You see how they live in fear
When you, think you can't, get by,
That's when you need to try

A ka guelen, maaya ka guelen,
A man guelan, maaya man guelen

Ki yere ye, Maa were tjokola / Ka yelike, Dusunkun yelen na
Ka kanu ke, kanu yere tjokola / Ka balo ke, Djurula sini fan fe
A ka guelen, maaya ka guelen,…

Some folks will rob you blind,
Bleed you dry, buy up all your rights
When you think u can't, get by,
That's when u need to try.
