African Nights

Ooh, ma, na, eh, oh
In Africa
Oh, eh, oh
Ooh, ma, na, eh, oh
In Africa
Oh, eh, oh

Over a land where the water flows
An eagle flies where the west wind blows
I saw her eyes shining crystal clear
One in a million years

And our hearts were one
Under burning suns
To the city of gold we will run

I still remember the African nights
Deep in my memory it burns me inside
I've thrown down my chains
And I'm ready to fight
Can we recapture the fire
Of the African nights?

Ooh, ma, na, eh, oh
In Africa
Oh, eh, oh

From where I stand I can feel her touch
I'm in her hands and it means so much
I understand when the vision is gone
This feeling inside carries on

If the heart and mind
Reach the borderline
Who could considerate a crime?

I still remember the African nights
Deep in my memory it burns me inside
I've thrown down my chains
And I'm ready to fight
Can we recapture the fire
Of the African nights?

Ooh, ma, na, eh, oh
In Africa
Oh, eh, oh

Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you
We follow
Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you
We follow

I still remember the African nights
Deep in my memory it burns me inside
I've thrown down my chains
And I'm ready to fight
Can we recapture the fire
Of the African nights?

Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you
We follow
Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you
We follow

Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you
We follow
Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you
We follow
In Africa
