He’s the peacemaker in Sudan
Haruun Ruun Ruun Ruun, Haruun Ruun Ruun
The Dinka and the Nuer live in that land
Haruun Ruun Ruun Ruun, Haruun Ruun Ruun

Yes, he's in the Sudan
Yes, they live in that land
And when we sing this song
Haruun Ruun Ruun Ruun, Haruun Ruun Ruun

He’ll get the Wallenberg Award on November 8
Haruun Ruun Ruun Ruun, Haruun Ruun Ruun
We think this Executive Secretary is really great
Haruun Ruun Ruun Ruun, Haruun Ruun Ruun

Yes, we think he's great
And let's all sing this song
Haruun Ruun Ruun Ruun, Haruun Ruun Ruun
