Ma' Africa Songtext

von One Giant Leap

(Mahotella Queens translation:)

It's my turn the short division
I'm the light that shines and guides the young
I eat before I start
But I'm not going to finish now

What's the problem? It's in a person
It's in a person... in the world
I'm warning you, that's the truth

What's the problem? It's in a person
It's in a person... in the world
I'm warning you, I'm warning you

It's in a person, it's in a person
I'm warning you, I'm warning you
It's the truth

Africa land for preachers gold
Land for everybody – young and old
The place that holds for some bright future,
But for others the future tend to torture
Maaaaaa Africa.

What went wrong with your brains?
You kill each other you destroy human dignity
People of Africa lets stand together
And make it the land of hope!

I want to tell everybody about myself.

(spoken – merges into Braided Hair)
