Chorus
Ooh!
Ooh, ooh, haa,
Ooh, ooh, haa,
Ooh, ooh, haa,
Ooh, ooh, haa,
Salva Salva Salva Kiir,
People are wishing
for change.
You have been acting
strange.
You know that leads to
violence.
What's the meaning of your
excellence?
Salva Salva Salva Kiir.
Salva Salva Salva Kiir.
Salva Salva Salva Kiir. 2x
Verese 1.
Salva Salva Salva Kiir!
Salva Kiir, how about the
people;
Whom you have been leading?
Are you thinking, always about
them?
Do you know they are fed up?
People became hopeless.
Your soldiers are suffering.
What reforms do you have;
In your liberation movement
and the party?
Do you know, youth are the
future?;
What are you doing for them?
New days are nearing;
Verse 2.
Your party is corrupted;
by unsentient human beings.
Where are your economists;
To rectify the system, of the
country you're leading?
What about the resources;
under your administration?
The oil money, where is it
invested?
Is oil killing your people;
Are you happy, about people's
losses, all-over the country?
It has been 10 years;
And you still want to lead.
Will you be labelled with honors?
by all your competing patriots.
Verse 3.
In the times of elections;
People will carry banners.
With all sorts of opinions.
What will they say about you;
After the 10 years of ruling;
and the daily disappointments?
Do you still want to be a leader;
Or the commander of the forces
Whom you don't want to feed,
And provide them, with the
daily healthcare?
What did you fight for; in years
of liberation of the SPLM and A?
Salva Kiir, may you exit in peace.
Let the people direct the destiny
of the nation.
