Philly Bongoley Lutaaya – Born In Africa lyrics

I was born
Born in Africa ah
Sing my song
Music Africana

I was born to sing
I feel the music
It’s in the song
I was born to dance
I hear the music
It’s in the drums

Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya yaa ah
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yoo oh

Don’t worry where you are coming from
So wonderful when people meet
Down in Africa the land of the sun
We sing and dance it depends on the mood
Chorus
I was born
Born in Africa ah
Sing my song
Music Africana

I was born to sing
I feel the music
It’s in the soul
I was born to dance
I hear the rhythm
It’s in the drums

Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya yaa ah
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yoo oh

Music is the topic today
Let us throw our worries away
No frontiers no barriers to dread
Just doing what we choose to do

I was born
Born in Africa ah
Sing my song
Music Africana

I was born to sing
I feel the music
It’s in the soul
I was born to dance
I feel the rhythm
It’s in the drums

Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya yaa ah
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yoo oh

On the great rich land
Rich in history
A black man, a great contributor
In all our lives
All those great gone men
The fathers of our land, its up to us
To keep trodding on, oh oh

I was born
Born in Africa ah
Sing my song
Music Africana

I was born to sing
I feel the music
It’s in the song
I was born to dance
I feel the rhythm
It’s in the drums

Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya yaa ah
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yoo oh

One message from the land of the sun
Love and peace to all of the world
Ebony and ivory side by side
It’s you and me

I was born
Born in Africa ah
Sing my song
Music Africana

I was born to sing
I feel the music
It’s in the song
I was born to dance
I feel the rhythm
It’s in the drums

Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya yaa ah
You got to sing along
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yoo oh
You got to dance again
Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya yaa ah
I praise the motherland
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yoo oh
I was born in Africa
Ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya yaa ah
Mr. music man
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yoo oh
You got to sing along
