INVICTUS
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
(William Ernst Henley, 1849-1903)
"I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all. "
NKOSI SIKELELE (South African National Athem). English Translation.
God [Lord] bless Africa
May her glory be lifted high
Hear our petitions
God bless us, Your children
God we ask You to protect our nation
Intervene and end all conflicts
Protect us, protect our nation, our nation, South Africa - South Africa
From the blueness of our skies,
From the depths of our oceans,
Over our everlasting mountain ranges,
Where the cliffs give answer to our call,
Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,
In South Africa our land.
By Carmen, Rogelio and Victoria
