Africa
Radio & Weasel feat. Mwamba Children’s Choir Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

En África hay vientos que abrasan
y vientos que secan la mente
también hay corrientes que hielan
y brumas que desatan pasiones.
El mismo aire que fecunda la selva
entierra ciudades en polvo.
Date prisa
toma un vaso

siente el viento.
En África hay vientos que abrasan
y vientos que secan la mente
también hay corrientes que hielan
y brumas que desatan pasiones.

El mismo aire que fecunda la selva
entierra ciudades en polvo.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Africa" by Radio & Weasel feat. Mwamba Children’s Choir, the lyrics describe the raw and unpredictable nature of Africa. The lyrics relay the various winds and currents that contribute to shaping the landscape of Africa. The winds are described as both scorching and mind-drying, while the currents are said to be icy cold. Meanwhile, the mists are painted as the catalysts for profound emotion and passion. The lyrics also allude to the duality of Africa in terms of its contribution to the universal ecosystem. On the one hand, Africa is a vibrant and lush jungle that teems with life. Still, on the other, it is also a place that can swallow whole cities and reduce them to dust. The final chorus invites the listener to take a moment and appreciate the winds of Africa, both for their beauty and their danger.
