African Lady

Sunrise at dawn,

Night is gone –

I hear your song.

African lady.

The dark fades away,

Now it's day,

A new morning breaks.

The birds in the sky all sing

For Africa awakes.

Bright light floods the land

And tomorrow's in your hand,

African lady.

Goddess of sun

And of sea,

My lovely one,

African lady,

Your eyes softly bright

Like the light

Of stars above.

Smile and the whole world sings

A happy song of love.

Dark Queen! In my dreams

You're my Queen!

My Queen of Dreams,

African lady!
