Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Africa continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma
Africa continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma
Africa continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma
Africa continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma....

Tu alma que es igual que la mia
Herida y sufrida,
Herida y sufrida,
Y tu corazón hace latir los tambores
Y en la noche sagrada.. las estrellas son almas..

Africa continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma
Africa continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma...

Tu tierra pario la música santa
El reggae nace rezando
El reggae nace rezando
Y se alimento de amaneceres de cuento
De susurros de rio
De suspiros del viento...

Africa continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma
Africa continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma

Tu tierra pario la música santa
El reggae nace rezando,
El reggae nace rezando
Y se alimento de amaneceres de cuento
De susurros de rio
De suspiros del viento...

Africa, continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma
Africa, continente negro,
En medio de la jungla está tu alma

Oh.. oh.. oh.. oh
Oh.. oh.. oh.. oh.. oh...
Oh.. oh.. oh.. oh
Oh.. oh.. oh.. oh.. oh.. oh.. oh.. oh.. oh.. oh..
