Africa
365 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

África onde você está
Onde você foi?
África, África do Sul
Violência na rua
Preconceito racial
Qual o destino, na África, África do Sul
Pobreza humana
Lixo social
Qual o destino, na África, África do Sul
Eu não sei
Mais o que dizer
Qual o caminho
Sem se perder
Qual a razão




Disso tudo
Qual o destino na África do Sul
