Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If that's what it takes just want you to know
I can't stop myself cause it all went through my head and
Now it's falling apart
takes my breath away I just need another day or two
I'm back at the start
Why go away, when you won't last for a day
But I know I will be alright
Whatever, if I can make you stay
I will follow the road down to Africa
I just want to see
If it's really you and me
I will follow the road down to Africa
If that's what it takes, just want you to know
Round and round we go time must come to make a
choice is this how I want to live
Still don't know what's on when I woke up to the edge
I must learn how to forgive
Wherever I might go tonight
Why go away, when you won't last for a day
But I know I will be alright
Whatever, if I can make you stay
I will follow the road down to Africa
I just want to seeI
f it's really you and me
I will follow the road down to Africa
If that's what it takes, just want you to know
Uuuuumm ba taja Uuuuumm ba taaa

I was in the army when I first heard this song on the radio. Love the memories it brings from the barracks and brigade I served in. The song ran through my head when we marched in the woods and country roads in full gear, and I was completely exhausted and tired but damn, this makes me memorize the march as an experience that I can't ever forget :) Thanks Kajaani 2/17 1.

Старая запись голоса Наны. Нана Хедин уже не поет с 2009 года. Рак языка. А найти замену ей не смогли.
