Regressado, yes, I am by Makuzayi Massaki

Also Read

Regressado, yes I am

For my gestures reveal my ties

to the land of my memory

Regressado, yes I am

For return has always been the goal

of my life in exile

Regressado, yes I am

For it was there from whence I return

that I organized the struggle

to liberate this land

Regressado, yes I am

For my name rhymes with Kimpa Vita,

Nzinga, Buta, Ekwikwi and Mandume†

Regressado, yes I am

For only where my ancestor sleeps

can I build my house

Regressado, yes I am

For I have done nothing else but return

to my point of departure.
