When I chant I free my soul
On to the land that was foretold
I wanna be living in Africa
Wanna be living in Africa
Llena mi pecho de candela
Llena mi pecho de candela
The soul of faraway Africa
Fills my heart with its fire
I wanna be living in Africa, yeh
Wanna be living in Africa
Desde Santiago de Cuba viva la cultura rasta
Un saludo fraterno a Jamaica
Reggae music universal, internacional
Que no pasa de moda, no cansa
Sinonimo de esperanza, alabanza
Ni lo quien lo interprete
Lo mas importante es el mensaje
[he Rastas from Santiago de Cuba
Universal, international reggae music
Don't get old, it's still on
Like a spear gets into your ear
It brings hope and praise
The only and most important thing is the message
Llena mi pecho de candela
Llena mi pecho de candela
Ooh La la la la le la aaaah Africa
From outta Africa we came forth
Pon the banks of the Nile
Yeh we long fi hold a vibes
Free from the iniquity gotta hold a Ites
Bigger judgement and Binghi fire it go light
Mama Africa will always provide
Burn out the wars, stop your damn genocide
Beat the kette drum and we deh by the fireside
Hail Selassie I, burn the fire, keep it lively - yeh!
Soul a say (from Jamaica To Cuba)
Soul a say (Yo Yo Yo, Boom!)
From Morocco back to Mozambique
Tanazania go to Kenya we keep it moving
Llena mi pecho de candela
Llena mi pecho de candela
Now on the shores of my Mama breast we lay,
Forever sure of the length of days we pray
And this road will not always be in grey
For every soul has a chance for a better day
One thousand miles away, yeah
One million minutes from today
But I go on and I hold strong
