Africa

Africa ~ Toto

Das ist auch ein super bekannter Song. Kurze Geschichte was ich mit diesem Lied verbinde: Vor wenigen Jahren hat ein Musiklehrer unserer Schule die Schule verlassen, weil er für mehrere Jahre nach Ägypten wollte und dort an einer deutschen Schule unterrichtet hat. Sein Musik-Leistungskurs hat ihm dieses Lied zum Abschluss bei einem Konzert gewidmet. Am Ende haben wir alle mitgesungen, 1500 Leute. Das war ein unfassbares Erlebnis und ich werde sowohl das Lied als auch diesen Lehrer nie wieder in meinem Leben vergessen.

Mögt ihr den Song? Wart ihr schon mal in Afrika, wenn ja, wo genau? Was haltet ihr von Safaris?

Lyrics:

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
