Mbah Africa

Look at it as a place of enjoyment

We sold everything we had, thinking it would make it better

Fight for your Africa, make it a better place
Look not what Africa has done for you
What you can do for Africa, to make it a better place

Ton soleil O Afrique ne se cachera plus
Ta lune ne disparitra le plus
