There’s no way to love God without loving Earth

There’s no God who didn’t make Earth thinking of us

There’s no Earth that doesn’t become desperate in this way

Ah Aleluya alias moon

Ah Aleluya a la Luna

Ah Aleluya à la Lune

Ah Aleluya ala Lua

There’s no one who has never dreamed of a land without borders

There’s no reason for such a lack of reason

There’s no need that can justify such a sacrifice

“… Oliver Tambo, together with young Thabo Mbeki, when he was in his training period, preparing for his later role as head of state for democratic South Africa. Susulu, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Winnie Mandela, Albertina Susulu, all of these people that came from that one region of struggle did more than anoint us and reward us, or that only how skillfully they handled their own revolution, but how successfully they managed their newly-found independence and the newest of the African democracies… Jomo Kenyatta, Miriam Makeba… Tunisia-Habib Bourguiba; Senegal, with Senghor… Guinea, with Sékou Touré, Amílcar Cabral, Mozambique, Angola… All these people, all these leaders, all these forces filled my cup with opportunity and filled my heart with pride and my soul with adventure”.
