African Baby Songtext

von G. G. Anderson

Warm is the night and we are sitting here 'round the fire
The air is dry and thousands of stars in the sky
Drums that are beating so hot and I feel the desire
To dance with Bruwana but she is looking so shy

I come back, African baby
Night and day I'm thinking of you
Legs so black, my African lady
I return, you know it's true

Midnight is near and she's layin' in my arms and we're dreaming
The fire is small and the coldness brings her to my heart
I look in her eyes and I see a strange kind of feeling
Maybe she knows that tomorrow I have to part

I come back, African baby
Night and day I'm thinking of you
Legs so black, my African lady
I return, you know it's true
