Soldados enanos,
hasta los dientes armados.
Matan a hermanas y a hermanos
y solo con ocho anos.
No hay nadie que les ofresca calor,
tampoco hay tiempo para.
Calmar el dolor,
suenan siempre por un futuro mejor.
Pero cada dia es peor peor y peor.
Now we want no see no bredren and sistren dem dead.
But down in Africa blood run redder than red.
Civil war destruction and violence.
But this time the killers are dem little children.
There aint no faith and no conscience no more.
Just total elimination of hope and future.
Too many black people killing each other.
We haffi safe humanity and c**ture.

Uganda is where my father come from.
I love my people and I love this land.
But there is a problem that a gwaan for too long.
Some rebels inna north them keep fighting on.
Inna darkness of the night the evil army it comes.
Dem break inna the house and steal the mother their sons.
Dem train dem as a soldier give them brainwash and guns.
And force dem to kill dem own families oh lord.

Soldados enanos,
hasta los dientes armados.
Matan a hermanas y hermanos.
Hablo de ninos africanosque se ensangran las manos.
Les quitaron su ninez su papa y mama y hogar.
Ahora solos de un momento a otro les toca madurar.
A donde vamos a parar - este conflicto hay tratar de acabar.
