Obviously I owe very little to the
Eskimos or the Congo; but actually,
I do what I can to be worthy of
The university of the world

It is the university of life that has
Taught the culture of work, respect,
Of tolerance, but it has also taught me
That life is difficult, but with courage
It gets ahead

Obviously I owe very little to the
Eskimos or the Congo; but actually,
I do what I can to be worthy of
The university of the world

It is the university of life that has
Taught that the true culture is the
That is in the people of the town, of the countryside,
Of the old man, of the child, who is not alienated

Obviously I owe very little to the
Eskimos or the Congo; but actually,
I do what I can to be worthy of
The university of the world
