Wherever you are in this great big world You never stray far from my mind. Did you ever make it to Africa? You had such a dream in our time. We`d live in the jungle – You, me, and the kids – Swingin’ from vine to vine. Uwa sikelele, Africa. Cradle of all mankind.
Now, I got a woman whose love is so true I want to dive in it and drown. She`s mad at the world. …At me, too. But so good at squeezing it down. I regret nothing; Choices I’ve made; Leavin’ you like I did But all of the diamonds in Africa Could never outshine you, kid.
My portion of sorrows, My portion of smiles. The love that I`ve borrowed, They fill up the miles Between us.
This jingle jangle is really a prayer That you get your heart’s desire That you stay untangled from bleak affairs And never burn out your own fire. On your gold savannas, In rainforests green If you should remember me Nkosi sikelela, Africa You’ll know why I set you free.
