[Chorus: Selma Uamusse]
You, you, you, don’t use your guns to kill your people
You, you, you, don’t use your laws to kill our children
You, you, you, don’t use your pen to disagreement
You, you, you, don’t use your power to hurt your people
[Verse 1: Selma Uamusse]
Hey mister president
Hey mister minister
Hey mister governor
Hey dear CEO
Administrator
No weapon
No guns
No laws
To kill your people
No, no, no weapon formed against me shall prosper
[Chorus: Selma Uamusse]
You, you, you, don’t use your guns to kill your people
You, you, you, don’t use your power to kill our children
You, you, you, don’t use your laws to disagreement
You, you, you, don’t use your pen to kill your people
[Verse 2: Selma Uamusse]

[Bridge: Cheny Wa Gune]
Ku Kwaxate
Dhitikone muwa nitako konane
Kuvhete kutsurile
Dhitikone muwa nitako konane

Dhitikone muwa nitako konane
[Chorus: Selma Uamusse]
You, you, you, don’t use your guns to kill your people
You, you, you, don’t use your power to kill our children
You, you, you, don’t use your laws to disagreement
You, you, you, don’t use your pen to kill your people
[Verse 3: Selma Uamusse]
No weapon
No guns
No laws
No lies
To kill your people
To kill your people
To kill your people
To kill your people...
[Outro: Selma Uamusse]
You, you, you
English translation (from Chope and Mandinka)
War is not a good thing
To fight is no solution
In my home country, they never grow to maturity
It’s such a beautiful place
There’s too little love
Help us, God
We ask for Peace
