I have dreamed for you Friend A beautiful moon Beautiful as only the moon Of my village can be In my village where girls dress In clothes the color of joy And dance to the slender sound of the drum In my village where no neon Dulls the magical clarity Of Lady Moon In my village where no buildings Block the passing of the luminous rays Of Lady Moon In my village where crickets orchestrate A mute concert to salute Lady Moon In my village where mountains awakened by The melodious sound of pastoral flute Rise to salute Lady Moon in your silence, O, friend Accept a morsel of my beautiful African Moon To break up the night that haunts you And a corner of my blue sky To add to the enchanting green Of my beautiful Africa To brighten your sombre heart To make hope eternal.
