Letra de África (original)

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 on 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"

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 África
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
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serangetti
I seek to cure what´s deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I´ve become

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 África
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Hurry boy, she´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 bless the rains down in África


I bless the rains down in África, I bless the rains down in África
I bless the rains down in África, I bless the rains down in África
I bless the rains down in África
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...
