Текст песни: I Am Africa + перевод

ELDER MCKINLEY

I am Africa

I am Africa

With the strength of the cheetah

My native voice will ring

ENSEMBLE

We are Africa

We are the heartbeat of Africa

With the rhino, the meerkat, the noble lion king

We are Africa

We are the winds of the Serengeti

We are the sweat of the jungle man

We are the tears of Nelson Mandela

We are the lost boys of the Sudan

ELDER CUNNINGHAM

I am Africa

Just like Bono, I am Africa

I flew in here and become one with this land

ELDERS

Ha na heya! Za ba neyba!

ELDER CUNNINGHAM

I’m not a follower anymore

No, now I’m freakin' Africa

With my Zulu spear, I run barefoot through the sand

And I am Africa

ELDERS

Ha na hey a za ba ney…

ENSEMBLE

We are Africa (We are Africa)

We are the one, the only Africa (The one and only Africa)

And the life we live is primitive and proud! (Let us smile and laughrica!)

We are Africa (We are Africa)

We are deepest, darkest Africa! (So deep and dark in Africa)

We are the fields and fertile forest, well endowed

We are Africa (We are Africa)

We are the sunrise on the Savannah

A monkey with a banana

A tribal woman who doesn’t wear a bra

Ahhh… Africans are African

But we are Africa!
