Belize Kriol
Translated by Ivory Kelly with assistance from Ubaldimir Guerra
'No' ih seh, 'Freedom noh eva gat kandishanz' Ahn shaklz klamp pan di Robben Island vetaran.
'No' shee seh, 'Nalij noh permit no eksklooozhan' -
Skaard, bot noh skyaad, di fays a di Yong Gyal fahn Pakistan.
'No' ih seh, 'Fayt da noh bai kompolshan' -
Wahn kyaptiv vais, dimyoor bot difaiyant eena Dapchi, Ih toach stay brait eena di den a zelats.
Soh, kraas taim, testimentari vais eko - Mandela, Malala, Leah Sharibu - di toach a 'No, Prometheus seh', flaym ahn antem, Fain kraks, wahn briliyant flaym bos chroo Chibok ahn Dapchi, fi lait op di werl agen.
