Paul Robeson - The Glorious Voice

Canoe Song - 1990 Remastered Version

Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, Ayee oko, Ayee oko

Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
The current swings
The water sings
A river rhyme

For life is a burden of labour
When each bends his back with his neighbour

So each for all
We stand or fall
And all for each
Until we reach
The journeys end

Sandy the strong
Sandy the wise
Righter of wrong
Hater of lies
Laughed as he fought
Worked as he played
As he has taught
Let it be made

Away you go
Ayega der
And make it so
Ayega der
Together all
The paddles fall
In tune and time

Ayee oko, ayege der
Ayee oko, ayege der
The current swings
The water sings
A river rhyme

For life is a burden of labour
When each bends his back with his neighbour

So each for all
We stand or fall
And all for each
Untill we reach
The journeys end
