"Cameroon Lives in Me"

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Cameroon Lives in Me is a personal and emotional tribute to a homeland that shaped the heart and soul of its storyteller. From the first breath and first steps taken on its soil, Cameroon became more than just a country — it became identity, memory, and love. Through vivid recollections of childhood, nature, music, and family, the narrator reflects on the deep bond with their homeland, the pride in its culture, and the longing that comes from being away. Even in absence, Cameroon lives within them — in prayers, memories, and the hope of one day returning. This story is a celebration of heritage, devotion, and the unbreakable connection between a person and the place they call home.

Chapter 1

The is only one place, I loved to lay my heard, I had just one vision, I never wanted to share.

I remember, the dogs backing outside, I remember, rain flowing in between, am coming back to you.....cameroon

I remember, I had full top vision, I will never leave you, and now am gone away.

I still miss you, I will never forget, you were my whole heart, my one and only piece.

I took, my first breath, and steps , and you were there, by my side.

You are not just , my country, you are my identity.

No matter, what , you are the biggest part of me, am coming back to you.

You gave me, love, I remember fall in love, through your branches, I will never forget, how you made me, feel like I was needed, am coming back to you.

I remember, singing, your ANTHEM


O Cameroon, Thou Cradle, of our Fathers,

Holy Shrine Where in our midst they now repose,

Their tears and blood and sweat thy soil did water,

On thy hills and Valleys once their village rose.

Dear Fatherland, thy worth no tongue can tell.

How can we ever pay thy due.

Thy welfare we will win in toil and love and peace,

Will be on thy name ever true!

Land of promise, land of Glory!

Thou, of life and joy, our only store!

Thine be honour, thine devotion,

And deep endearment, for evermore.

French version.


Ô Cameroun, berceau de nos ancêtres,

Va, debout et jaloux de ta liberté.

Comme un soleil ton drapeau fier doit être,

Un symbole ardent de foi et d'unité,

Que tous tes enfants du Nord au Sud,

De l'Est à l'Ouest soient tout amour!

Te servir que ce soit le seul but,

Pour remplir leur devoir toujours.

Refrain

Chère Patrie, terre chérie,

Tu es notre seul et vrai bonheur.

Notre joie, notre vie,

À toi l'amour et le grand honneur.

My love for you, remains strong and bold, yes every country have difficulty, and pain, but still, together we all are one.

I may not be there now, but I will always pray and remember you.

When I will get my stand, I will remember you, and am proud, to say that.

I am born, and breathe in camerron, that's were I learned how, to pray, eat, and everything I know.

Long live cameroon.
