Lyrics

Verse 1

Old chains on the gate

Rust on the floor

He left in the middle of the night

They said he won't return through the front door

The heavy dust has settled deep

Down by the river bank

Across the mountain side

Under the mango tree we sank

Chorus

Beberu katoroka

The weight is gone from our shoulders

Beberu katoroka

We move like lions in the grass

Today we celebrate

Today we stand upright

Today we claim the land

Katoroka

Katoroka

Post-Chorus

Oh ya ya ya

Beberu katoroka

Oh ya ya ya

Verse 2

Grandmother is laughing now

Picking tea leaves

Sun hits the red dirt

Nobody comes here to take what they please

Strength in our breathing

Joy in the drums

Peace in the morning

Peace in the harvest that comes

Watch the flag fly high

Red and black and green

Bold and bright and clean

Chorus

Beberu katoroka

The weight is gone from our shoulders

Beberu katoroka

We move like lions in the grass

Today we celebrate

Today we stand upright

Today we claim the land

Katoroka

Katoroka

Bridge

Our soil

Our sweat

Our blood

No more crying for the past

No more working for the ghost

Sing it loud across the coast

Kenya yetu

Chorus

Beberu katoroka

The weight is gone from our shoulders

Beberu katoroka

We move like lions in the grass

Today we celebrate

Today we stand upright

Today we claim the land

Katoroka

Katoroka

Outro

Gone yesterday

Never coming back

Free people

Katoroka

Katoroka

Soervereignty is here

Africa is here

Beberu katoroka
