Track 2

Intro

(Heavy log drum rolls)

(Whistle blows)

(Shakers and rhythmic percussion)

South Sudan!

Panyikang vibe.

It’s the Amapiano way.

Asmai...

Verse 1

From the streets of Hai Amarat we moving

But the pain in the land is what we proving.

From Juba city, we feel the heat

To the Malakal rhythm and the Yei street.

In Kajo-Keji, the brothers are tired

But the spirit of the youth is still inspired.

Ya zol, look at the smoke in the air

But we still standing, we’re still here.

Chorus

(Log drum drops heavy)

South Sudan, baladi, we dancing for peace

We want the war and the crying to cease.

From the North to the South, we are one

Sawa sawa, under the sun.

Panyikang, my home, my soul

Healing the land is the only goal.

(Log drum triplets)

Dugo leyo! Dugo leyo!

Verse 2

Wuo Nyikang, hear the children cry

We don’t want another mother to ask "Why?"

Chollo people, stay strong in the light

Even when the day feels like the night.

Yi dwayo ki piny, we want to build

With the love and the grace that the Nile has filled.

No more bunduqia, no more fear

The Amapiano rhythm is all we hear.

Bridge

(Bass thumps deep, melody strips back)

Lingi! (Listen!)

Cami! (Peace!)

Piny acielo, one land.

Piny acielo, one hand.

From the Reth’s palace to the Juba bridge

We climbing over the mountain ridge.

Ya zol, don’t let the fire die

Keep the flag of the Nile flying high.

Outro

Shogul thageel.

Amapiano for the nation.

Panyikang to the world.

Juba, Malakal, Yei.

Sawa sawa.

(Final log drum hit)

(Fade out)

Intro

(Heavy log drum rolls)

(Whistle blows)

Ya zol!

South Sudan to the world!

Panyikang on the map!

Verse 1

From Hai Amarat to the Malakal side,

We got the rhythm, we got the pride.

From Yei to Kajo-Keji, we stand,

One people, one soul, one land.

In Panyikang, the Nile flows deep,

A promise of peace is the one we keep.

Chorus

(Log drum drops heavy)

South Sudan, baladi, we dancing for peace,

We want the war and the crying to cease.

Sawa sawa, under the sun,

Panyikang, my home, we are one.
