Africa Songtext
von Johnny Clegg

E Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Halala, halala

He was born in the African dawn and orphaned to the land
So gentle in the eye he was, as any woman′s child

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Halala, halala

As he grew people told him, "Son don't you trust anyone"
You learn how to trust a stone"
This is not gentle land and it breaks those
Who never learned how to be alone


Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Halala, halala

And so he walked in the fashion of his lands until at last he cried out
"Can anybody hear me, hear me, hear the song in my heart?"
There′s a song to be sung that can heal these broken men
Let us sing and we'll walk through the dark
Hand in hands, hand in hands

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Halala

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema


Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wema
