<b>BLACK BOY (le relais des Ruandais)</b> by <i>Jean Bosco Safari</i><br />He’s born in the land of mountains

He learned to climb them slow

He would never go around them

That’s the way he wants to go

He’s been travellin’ for ages

Wandering like the Jews

Through a desert full of dangers

To find back his roots

Music and cartoons,

He’s working hard to get by

Looking back at his ruins

Sometimes he’d sit down and cry

Look at this black boy, look at this gipsy boy

Look at this black boy, livin’ in the city (2x)

Like a raft lost out at sea

Waiting for a breeze

Waiting for God to help him

Praying on his knees

He’s trying for a regular life

He tries to step in line

But efficiency and time

He never managed to combine

Music and cartoons

He’s working hard to get by

Looking back at his ruins

Sometimes he’d sit down and cry

Look at this black boy, look at this gipsy boy

Look at this black boy, livin’ in the city (3x)

No women, no dope, no priest, no pope

Can put him on his feet again

Only he can turn the tide

But he just can’t tell you when

‘cos he’s born in the land of mountains

He learned to climb them high

He would never go around them

That’s the way he wants to go

Look at this black boy, look at this gipsy boy

Look at this black boy, livin’ in the city (3x)
