Africana

Came the beautiful little one
So suffering and so alone, brunette
Crossed the border, what a shame
For freedom not to arrive

Your African luck
Was to find someone who doesn't want you
Nor loves you
Who doesn't change you and doesn't hold you in bed
That's what makes you sing

Hey, here she comes, stepping on our ground
Hey, here she comes, hurting my heart

Hey, here she comes, stepping on our ground
Hey, here she comes, hurting my heart

Teach me to put pepper in this sauce
And I'll teach you to sail, swings, trinkets
And fill the sauce and I'll teach you to date

Not even hunger, child
Has long been undermining your hope
I take away the laughter from this face and this dance
From your walk

My wish is one day
To see your race in victorious munia
That spins the world, in this tone of joy
We will sing

Hey, here she comes, stepping on our ground
Hey, here she comes, cheering my heart

Hey, here she comes, stepping on our ground
Hey, here she comes, cheering my heart

Teach me to put pepper in this sauce
And I'll teach you to sail, swings, trinkets
And fill the sauce and I'll teach you to date

Hey, here she comes, stepping on our ground
Hey, here she comes, hurting my heart

Hey, here she comes, stepping on our ground
Hey, here she comes, hurting my heart

Hey, here she comes
