Tekst piosenki
A motor-bike in Africa,
Riding the white line,
Oblivious of snakes stretched out
Across the way like trip-wire,
Shouting
'The road is mine!'
Tracing the line of the skeleton coast,
Ghost riders from the Sud-West:
The original angels of death they seem,
Six motor-bikes abreast.
Riding through the oppressive nought,
Now only the hardest remain.
Look at the scars of the tyre-tracks,
Look to the bodies behind their backs,
Look at the bastards bray.
In Africa today.
The bodies of Biko and Soweto poor,
The christian message of Dutch reform,
The sound of the monster, the motor-bike roar,
The hate in the eyes of the uniformed Boer,
The head and the bucket, the boot and the floor…
Racial torture and racial war
In Africa today.
Come in Rhodesia, South Africa, your time is up…
No protection on a motor-bike;
Sooner or later the normal traffic’s gonna get you.
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Motor-rower w Afryce,
/ Align = "left" / Linear,
/ Align = "left" /
Across the way like trip-wire,
Krzyki
'Droga jest moja!'
/ Align = "left" / Linear,
Ghost riders from the Sud-West:
The original angels of death they seem,
Sześć motocykli.
/ Align = "left" / ,
Teraz pozostały tylko najcięższe.
# Patrz blizny na śladach opon,
Spójrz na ciała za ich plecami.,
Spójrz na tych drani bray.
Współcześnie w Afryce.
Ciała Biko i Soweto ubogich,
Chrześcijańskie przesłanie reform Holenderskich,
The sound of the monster, the motor-bike roar,
The hate in the eyes of the uniform Boer,
The head and the bucket, the boot and the floor…
Tortury rasowe i wojna rasowa
Współcześnie w Afryce.
Come in Rhodesia, South Africa, your time is up…
Brak ochrony na motocyklu;
Prędzej czy później normalne korki cię dopadną.
