ホテル・ルワンダのエンディングテーマ、Million Voicesの歌詞。
Wyclef Jeanの歌。

Rwanda, Rwanda,
Yeah Rwanda, Rwanda.


They said: "Many are called and few are chosen,"
But I wish some wasn’t chosen
for the blood spilling of Rwanda.


They said: "Meshach Eshach and Abednego,
Thrown in the fire but you never get burned,"
but I wish that I didn't get burned in Rwanda.


They said: "The man is judged according to his works,"
so tell me Africa, what’s your worth?


There’s no money, no diamonds, no fortunes
on this planet that can replace Rwanda…


Rwanda Rwanda


Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda


These are the cry of the children


Rwanda Rwanda


Anybody hear my cry?


If America, is the United States of America,
(もしアメリカがアメリカ合衆国なら)
Then why can’t Africa, be the United States of Africa?
(なぜアフリカはアフリカ合衆国になれないのか?)


And if England, is the United Kingdom,
(もしイギリスがイギリス連邦王国なら)
Then why can’t Africa unite all the kingdoms
and become United Kingdom of Africa?
(なぜアフリカの王国が集まってアフリカ連邦王国になれないのか?)


Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda
Yeah, yeah.


These are the cries of the children, yeah.


Can anybody out there hear our cries?
(そこにいる誰か聞こえますか)


Yeah, heavens cry ... Jesus cry.


Lord, did you hear us calling you?
Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda,


Lord, did you hear us calling?
Can you do something in Rwanda?
ルワンダになにかしてやれませんか)


Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda


I’m talkin' 'bout Jesus; talkin' 'bout
Rwanda Rwanda Rwanda


Talkin' 'bout … talk'n 'bout ...
Talkin' 'bout … talk'n 'bout ...


I wanna play my guitar for Rwanda....
