A place called Africa (1976 version) lyrics with English Translations
[Chorus 1] There's a place called Africa, so far away There's a place called Africa, many miles away Mama says that's where I'm from And I know that she can't go wrong Take me back to Africa, Mama, how did I get here, here, here How did I stray? Hmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 1] She said, once upon a time, my son They stored us on a ship We had to work and slave each day The boss, he took the pay, every day Brighter sun has dawned today They can't stop us, come what may A time shall come for you and I She bowed her head and cried You know that she cried, please don't cry Mama, I tell you why Please don't cry (..)
[Chorus 2] There's a place called Africa, far, far away, far away There's a place called Africa, many miles away Brighter sun has dawned today They can't stop us, come what may Time shall come for you and I She bowed her head and she's crying now, crying now Mama please don't, mama please, mama please Mama please don't, mama please, mama please Mama please don't cry
I say, mother don't weep no more Cause you know Jah open every, every door
[Outro] When did I stray, stray, stray Was it in that day, day, day Was it in the night, night, night When did I stray, stray, stray Hey, when did I stray..
