Zo! - Africa [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

* song originally done by Toto

[Phonte]
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers
Of some quiet conversaaaaation...
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars
That guide me towards salvaaaaation...
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words
Or ancient mellllllodies....
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for yooooou!"

[Hook]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me awaaaaay from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever doooo..
I bless the rains down in Af-ricaaaa..
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaaad, ooh, ooh...

The wilddogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing
For some solitary coooompany...
I know that I must do whats right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus
Above the Serengetiii...
I seek to cure what's DEEP inside
Frightened of, this thing that I've becoooome

[Hook]

[Synthesized keyboard break]

"Hurry boy, she's waiting there for yooooou!"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me awaaaaay from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever doooo..
I bless the rains down in Af-ricaaaa..

I bless the rains down in Af-ricaaaa.. (Iiiiiiiiiiiiiii, bless the rains...)

Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaaad, ooh, ooh...
