Afrika [English translation]

If I were to swear upon my life

that it was over between us,

He wouldn't be able to hide

that he would want to do it all over again.

He wants to hug again

the flame that still hurts him

that everybody knows about though he is making out

that he doesn't love me.

Refrain

My heart is burning like Africa

but my expression is as cold as Siberia

when he tells me that he will give me everything

I pretend that I want more.

When I look at him he wants to give me his life

when he looks at me he barely breathes

He knows that I could tear out his heart

but he can't go on without me any longer.

He knows he is mine but he's still fighting

I know that he sighs because of me

but he's afraid that he'll burn out

if he comes too close.

He wants to hug again

the flame that still hurts him

that everybody knows about though he is making out

that he doesn't love me.

Refrain

My heart is burning like Africa

but my expression is as cold as Siberia

when he tells me that he will give me everything

I pretend that I want more.

When I look at him he wants to give me his life

when he looks at me he barely breathes

He knows that I could tear out his heart

but he can't go on without me any longer.

Refrain

My heart is burning like Africa

but my expression is as cold as Siberia

when he tells me that he will give me everything

I pretend that I want more.

When I look at him he wants to give me his life

when he looks at me he barely breathes

He knows that I could tear out his heart

but he can't go on without me any longer.
