Lyrics
my africa is warm and golden
my africa protects me
she welcomes me with open arms
red earth, that's were we come from, all of us
onga farafina cadi, onga farafina cain
onga farafina cadi, onga farafina douma
my africa is calling me
come home she says and rest
why are you running,
everything will come to you
just wait
my oceans, all my lakes and rivers wait for you
my desert towns will tell their secrets,
if you come and stay
look at the starlit sky
when night time comes
onga farafina cadi...
my africa was torn apart
murdered, robbed, divided, enslaved
and fighting for freedom
my africa is slowly healing
