Over a land where the water flows
An eagle flies where the west wind blows
I saw her eyes shining crystal clear
One in a million years
And our hearts were one under burning suns
To the city of gold we will run
I still remember the African nights
Deep in my memory it burns me inside
I’ve thrown down my chains and I’m ready to fight
Can we recapture the fire of the African nights
From where I stand I can feel her touch
I’m in her hands and it means so much
I understand when the vision is gone
This feeling inside carries on
If the heart and mind reach the borderline
Who could considerate a crime
I still remember the African nights
Deep in my memory it burns me inside
I’ve thrown down my chains and I’m ready to fight
Can we recapture the fire of the African nights
Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you, we follow
Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you, we follow
I still remember the African nights
Deep in my memory it burns me inside
I’ve thrown down my chains and I’m ready to fight
Can we recapture the fire of the African nights
Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you, we follow
Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you, we follow
Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you, we follow
Tar nem seng yaaro
We hear you, we follow
