i crveni sal
ucitelj je rek'o
dolazi nam car
Mnogo ljudi cekalo je
gosta iz daljina
carsijom da prodje crna limuzina
Prosao je mirno
gledajuci svjet
uhvativsi tek poneki
dobaceni cvijet
Zbog njega su nene
sebi sjekle vene
zbog njega su raste
zarasle u kraste
Ref. 2x
Haile Selasije
car Afrike i Azije
haile, haile
haile, Selasije
Bio je to divan covjek
omiljen od mase
mudar kao Ghandi
lijep kao Nasser
Od svih nasih prijatelja
bio je najveci
vodio svoj narod
k' bogatstvu i sreci
Ref. 3x
