Eddy Grant – Hello Africa lyrics

Well, hello, hello Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Well, hello, hello Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Tell me, how do you do, Africa?
(How do you do, Africa?)
Tell me, how do you do, Africa?
(How do you do, Africa?)

Hey, jambo wana wa-Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Jambo wana wa-Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Abaligani wa-Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Abaligani wa-Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)

Hey, you sent me away with an empty heart
(How do you do, Africa?)
But I wanna get back and make a fresh start
(How do you do, Africa?)
You sent me away with an empty heart
(How do you do, Africa?)
But I wanna get back and make a fresh start
(How do you do, Africa?)
So hello

Well, hello, hello Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Jambo wana wa-Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Abaligani wa-Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Abaligani wa-Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)

Tell me then, which is my home?
(How do you do, Africa?)
Where is my jungle I used to roam?
(How do you do, Africa?)
The only tigers I see are tame
(How do you do, Africa?)
The only tigers I see are tame
(How do you do, Africa?)
You call my cattle game

Hello, hello Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Jambo wana wa-Africa

(How do you do, Africa?)
Oh, Africa ah bay-no buntungwa

(How do you do, Africa?)
(How do you do, Africa?)
(How do you do, Africa?)
(How do you do, Africa?)
(How do you do, Africa?)

Well, hello, hello Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Well, hello, hello Africa
(How do you do, Africa?)
Tell me, how do you do, Africa?
(How do you do, Africa?)
Tell me, how do you do, Africa?
(How do you do, Africa?)

They found the jewels I hid in the earth
(How do you do, Africa?)
And now that I want I can't buy a shirt
(How do you do, Africa?)
I hope that the air is still mine to breathe
(How do you do, Africa?)
Ain't I your brother you used to believe?
(How do you do, Africa?)
Hello

Hello, hello Africa
