Where
are you, God of Rwanda? / You have turned your back on / me / Although I was
your friend / You spent your days elsewhere / And you returned to sleep in /
Rwanda / The day you didn´t return / They exterminated us that very / evening /
Where are you, God of Rwanda
I
was the youngest of a family of / ten children / they killed my parents / They
separated me from birth / My elder brothers / were massacred before my eyes /
Their bodies abandoned close to / me / That I may die of grief / Where are you,
God of Rwanda?
What
then is my sin, God of / Rwanda? / They mada me an orphan / Although I was
still very young / I stayed in a house in ruins / While I was a mere infant / I
am only company at night / Although I was once married / What then is my sin,
God of / Rwanda?
