Great Queens Of Africa lyrics with English Translations
Great queens of Afrika
Rulers all aroun'
They were mighty brave and strong
Europeans couldn't get them down
Afrika had great kings and queens You should know Search your history It will show If you know not from whence you came You are doomed to live in shame
In a Afrika
Talkin' 'bout Makeda Queen of Sheba Ruled from Arabia to Ethiopia Fell in love with Solomon Brought forth Haile Selassie Forefather Menelik I
In a Afrika
Amina rode at the head of Her troops in war Conquered enemies near And far Great queen of Hausa land A woman as capable as any man
In a Afrika
Nzinga of Angola Fought the Portuguese As a guerilla soldier At age 70 she was still on top Portuguese, Dutch, Nzinga They could not stop Si queen nanny of Jamaica She rule de area When de English dem lick shot All she do is spit it back
In a Afrika
Now when I was a child I Thought Cleopatra Looked exactly like Elizabeth Taylor Now I am wiser I understand Cleopatra was really an Egyptian
In a Afrika
Yes Afrika had great kings And queens you should know Search your history It will show If you know not from whence you came You are doomed to live in shame
Afrika had great kings and queens You should know Search your history It will show If you know not from whence you came You are doomed to live in shame
