Will Tura Lyrics
Een vogel vlucht een oceaan
Op 't witte strand een pelikaan
Een stuk ongerepte natuur
Onder een hemel van azuur
Verschroeide vlakten overal
Die schreeuwen om een regen val
Lemen hutten zonder tuin
Spelende kinderen in het puin in het puin
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Zodra de lucht zich koper kleurt
En naar acaciabloemen geurt
Luidt er door het hele land
Het geroffel van een tam-tam
Een maisfeest is aan de gang
Een vreugdevuur bij volle maan
Inheemse dansers veel gezang
De jungle beeft als een vulkaan een vulkaan
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Op 't witte strand een pelikaan
Een stuk ongerepte natuur
Onder een hemel van azuur
Verschroeide vlakten overal
Die schreeuwen om een regen val
Lemen hutten zonder tuin
Spelende kinderen in het puin in het puin
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Zodra de lucht zich koper kleurt
En naar acaciabloemen geurt
Luidt er door het hele land
Het geroffel van een tam-tam
Een maisfeest is aan de gang
Een vreugdevuur bij volle maan
Inheemse dansers veel gezang
De jungle beeft als een vulkaan een vulkaan
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
Bella Bella Africa
