a peace song - sung in Amharic, Lingala and German!

Translation of the song:

from Amharic:
Peace is our wish, Love is our goal
Peace is our wish, Joy is our goal
Peace and love for all people
All over the earth, all around the world.

Selam, Shalom, Shlomo,
All over the earth, all around the world.

from German:
No matter how we look, whether black or red,
Whether yellow or white, we all need bread
And water and air and warmth in the winter
A roof over our heads and room for the children

Selam, Shalom, Shlomo
With all mankind living in peace

Amharic:
Joy and love for all humanity, day after day
Joy and peace for all humanity, day after day
We should not differenciate between black, white and red.
We should keep hate far away

Selam, Shalom, Shlomo
All over the earth, all around the world.

Lingala:
Be happy that you're alive. Life is too short, so don't shorten it more
Death will come... sooner than you think

Selam, Shalom, Shlomo
We went such a long way to find a peaceful place

Amharic:
You children shall grow up with peace, babies and youngsters
You children shall grow up with love, cause you are the flowers of today
You children shall grow up with harmony,
Because you are the seeds of tomorrow

Selam, Shalom, Shlomo...
All over the earth, all around the world.
