Thembi (South Africa)
In the youth of yesterday
there was fear, worry and self-destruct
Rather than the youth of Today
Where there is self-confidence; dignity and pride:
Youth of Today fear nothing, worry for nothing
And have rights rather than the youth of Yesterday
Youth is a imagination and a Freshness of deep springs of life.
Youth does not grow older by minds, but by age.
You are as young as your hope; as old as your despair
You are as young as your self-confidence; as old as your doubts
You are as young as your faith; as old as your fair.
It is up to us the youth of Today, to use what we have now.

Темби (Южная Африка)

Сегодня молодые люди
Отбросили сомнения и страхи,
Которые отцов их разрушали.
Они в себе уверенны и знают,
Что есть у них возможности и силы
Всё поменять в своей судьбе
И стать счастливей.
Ведь молодость – прекрасная пора цветенья,
Родник, откуда жизнь берёт начало.
Пока ты веришь и надеешься – ты молод.
И лишь отчаянье и страх тебя состарят.
