Amadou! K'naan!
The original West Coast, East Coast collaboration!
Rockinâ.
My friends, you donât choose your destiny.
Days may seem alike, but they arenât the same.
The fingers on your hand are not all equal.
In this world, things are complementary.
In Africa, there is a heatwave.
There is the sun, there is the human heat.
There is the sun, there is the joy of living.
There is sun, we are all together.
Iâm goinâ up and down
And baby round and round
Africa! Africa! Africa!
Solidarity!
Africa! Africa! Africa!
Itâs the joy of living.
Tell âem again.
Here we go.
There are countries where thereâs snow.
There are countries where there are heatwaves.
There are the countries where it storms.
There are countries where there are islands.
In this world, things are complementary.
Itâs just a jealousy,
Everything for you and me.
You ready? Here we go.
I got my feet, Iâm jumping high off the wall.
I got my heart, I aint afraid of the fall.
I got my duffel bag that daddy packed for me.
I got my ear so I hear when you call.
I donât need eyes just to see the good.
You always did, but they misunderstood.
Iâm goinâ up and down
And baby round and round.
I wanna touch you down the river below.
And then Iâll kiss you from your head to your toe.
You take me so high up, and then you let me down.
Africa! Africa! Africa!
Solidarity!
Africa! Africa! Africa!
Itâs the joy of living.
In Africa, there is not only war.
In Africa, there is not only famine.
In Africa, there is solidarity.
There are relatives, there are also brothers.
There are sisters, there are also cousins.
There are friends there is also family.
Community, we are all together.
In Africa, there is joy of living.
Africa! Africa! Africa!
Solidarité
Africa! Africa! Africa!
C'est la joie de vivre.
