Hei Mister Rhodes, hei Mister Rhodes
che nome diamo a questo pezzo di terra
su una collina che il vento strapazza
c'è una bandiera che il vento accarezza
Hei Mister Rhodes, hei Mister Rhodes
che nome diamo a questo pezzo di terra
a questo sogno che è sotto le ali
di madre Inghilterra
lo chiameremo Dio, Denaro e Dominio
così poche parole per uno sterminio
e quanta vita sui treni, quanta vita che passa
quanti colori sui treni dai vetri riflessi
ma cani e indigeni non sono ammessi
che nome diamo a questo pezzo di terra
dove anche Dio è uno straniero,
il denaro è denaro
il dominio e la gloria
alla Regina Vittoria
lo chiameremo Dio, Denaro e Dominio
così poche parole per uno sterminio
e quanti cuori sui treni, e che belle signore
e sui cappelli le piume e i gioielli
dai vetri riflessi
ma cani e indigeni non sono ammessi
cani ed indigeni non sono ammessi
che nome diamo a questo pezzo di terra
se mai finita sarà questa guerra
dal Congo Belga, allo Zaire, all'Italia
Hei Mister Rhodes
lo chiameremo Liberia
