Africa

by All time low

Koee & Doee ! Yeah Yeah !
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: “Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you”
[Chorus:]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
[Repeat chorus]
[Instrumental break]
Hurry boy, she's waitïng there for you

Africa

by craig david

Africa is my descent
and here I'm far from home
I dwell within a land that's meant
meant for many men not my tone
The blood of god is my defense
let it drop down 2 my seed
showers 2 your innocense
2 protect U for all eternity
and with this wood I beat this drum
and we won't see defeat
From kings 2 queens becomes a prince
knowledge wisdom is
understanding what we need
Ever since the day U came
my whole world began 2 change
I knew then 2 dedicate my life,
4 your own
everyday I see U grow
and remember what U already know
I receive the love
that radiates from your glow
From which U came was love
and that's how it all should be
U and my soul are 1
through all the time and history

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, Hurry boy, It's waiting there for you
CHORUS:
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
CHORUS
(Instrumental break)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you

I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have

Africa

I will follow the road down to Africa
If that's what it takes just want you to know
I can't stop myself cause it all went through my head and
Now it's falling apart
takes my breath away I just need another day or two
I'm back at the start
Wherever I might go tonight
Why go away, when you won't last for a day
But I know I will be alright
Whatever, if I can make you stay
I will follow the road down to Africa
I just wanna see
If it's really you and me
I will follow the road down to Africa
If that's what it takes, just want you to know
Round and round we go time must come to make a
choice is this how I wanna live
Still don't know what's on when I woke up to the edge
I must learn how to forgive
Wherever I might go tonight
Why go away, when you won't last for a day
But I know I will be alright
Whatever, if I can make you stay
I will follow the road down to Africa
I just wanna seeI
f it's really you and me
I will follow the road down to Africa
If that's what it takes, just want you to know
Uuuuumm ba taja Uuuuumm ba taaa

[Chorus:]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
[Chorus:]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say:
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you.
Gonna take the life that dragged me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night

Africa

by Chicago

Rain falling like a symphony
On the roof top of my heart
There's a movement in the whispering deep
Before the new dream starts
I see your eyes shining like a neon light .
Smiling in the dark - What made you so strong ?
-What made you so strong ?
I've seen you dealing in the market place
Buying political regrets
And you've been walking on the water again
But your feet never ever get wet
But you just say...
Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele
(Africa your innocent weep)
I light a candle for the innocent ones
I light a candle for our love
Say a prayer for peace on earth
For the daughters and the sons
And your life is like a cheap street fight
And you're laughing in the dark - What
Made you so strong ? (repeat)
I've been waiting all my life for this
To see how the deal gees down -
There's an AK 47 on the dashboard
And mercy's left this town, and you say...
Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele !
(Africa your innocent weep...
That's the way
It is.. .What makes you so strong ?
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[Culture Man speaks]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
And as I’m walking through the subway
All I feel is everybody’s piercing eyes [piercing eyes]
I’m following the footsteps all I can imagine is that I’m a guy
You never know maybe she’s afraid
And everything around her is so damn fake
I feel like that we've met before
Hurry boy she's waiting
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I blessed the rains down in Africa
We're take some time to do the thing we never had
The sun is rising on east side and every former life is waking us
The feeling of sacloga makes you wanna dream away of fall in love
She drags you in not afraid
Everything is heels like bait
What wrong with you don’t let her go
Hurry boy it's waiting
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I blessed the rains down in Africa
We're take some time to do the thing we never had
Doobara, doobara, doobra, doobara, doobara,
Doobara, doobara, doobaba, boorr, boobaba,
Dodo, dood, adooro, orooda, dooroo, dobara
Doobara doobara doobara baabaabaa
Hurry boy it's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I blessed the rains down in Africa
I blessed the rains down in Africa
I blessed the rains down in Africa
I blessed the rains down in Africa
We're take some time to do the thing we never had

So sing with me
Now sing with me
This is Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, hurry boy, its waiting there for you
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

She's coming in twelve-thirty flight,
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars
That guide me towards salvation,
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient memories,

Gonna to take a lot to drag me away from you,
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
I’ll bless the rains down in Africa,
Going to take some time to do the things we never had;
Wild dogs cry out in the night,
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company,

Frightened of this thing that I've become,

Africa

by way out west

Je suis amoureuse d'une terre sauvage
Un sorcier vaudou m'a peint le visage
Son gri-gri me suit au son des tam-tams
Parfum de magie sur ma peau blanche de femme
{Refrain:}
Africa
J'ai envie de danser comme toi
De m'offrir à ta loi
Africa
De bouger à me faire mal de toi
Et d'obéir à ta voix
Africa
Je danse pieds nus sous un soleil rouge
Les dieux à genoux ont le cœur qui bouge
Le feu de mon corps devient un rebelle
Le cri des gourous a déchiré le ciel
{au Refrain}
Dangereuse et sensuelle, sous ta pluie sucrée
Panthère ou gazelle je me suis couchée
Au creux de tes griffes je suis revenue
A l'ombre des cases je ferai ma tribu
Africa
J'ai envie de danser comme toi
Et d'obéir à ta loi
Africa, Africa
Je suis amoureuse d'une terre sauvage
Un sorcier vaudou m'a peint le visage
Son gri-gri me suit au son des tambours
Parfum de folie, magie de l'amour
In dark deep jungle I hear the wild drum
My heart beats faster knowing my time's come.
The voodoo master waiting for nightfall
Draws signs of magic on my white woman skin.
Africa
charms me with her power
Takes my soul on the midnight hour
Africa
dancing till my body burns so hot
Crying to the voodoo god - Africa.
I am dancing bare food under a red sun
My sense is high to feel like emotion.
Gazel or panther - I hear a lion roar
The voodoo goddes fills me with all her force.
Africa
charms me with her power
. ..
In tribal dwelling I lie in cool shade
From heaven opened falling the sweet rain.
From danger hiding between her sharp claws
A shadow is moving bow to the voodoo law.
Africa
charms me with her power
. . .
In dark deep jungle I hear the wild drum
My heart beats faster knowing my time's come.
The voodoo master waiting for nightfall
Draws signs of magic sacrifice woman.
In dark deep jungle I hear the wild drum
. . .
In dark deep jungle I hear the wild drum
. . .
Africa
Africa.

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
Shes coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, hurry boy, its waiting there for you
Chorus:
Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Theres nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do whats right
Sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti
I seek to cure whats deep inside, frightened of this thing that Ive become
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Hurry boy, shes waiting there for you
Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Theres nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in africa, I bless the rains down in africa
I bless the rains down in africa, I bless the rains down in africa
I bless the rains down in africa
