O Niger,
The great river!
Land of the great rivers,
Republic of great waters;
Of grains and crude couriers
Sparse within great channels_
Sisters of the great combed heirs
Through which fresh learns
And virgin ideas came.
And in spite of the troubles
Brought forward by masquerades
Of disciplined mothers,
You have bent and cracked the hurdles
Of self and greedy holders.
