Johnny Clegg & Juluka, Sipho Mchunu - Africa Lyrics

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala
Hlala
He was born in the African dawn and orphaned to the land
So gentle in the eye he was as any woman's child

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala
Hlala

As he grew people told him, son, don't you trust anyone
You learn how to trust a stone
This is not the gentle land and it breaks those
Who never learned how to be alone

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala
Hlala

And so he walked in the fashion of his lands
Until at last he cried out
Can anybody hear me, hear me, hear the song in my heart
There's a song to be sung that can heal these broken men
Let us sing and we'll walk through the dark
Hand in hand, hand in hand

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala
Hlala
