Africa - Toto Cutugno

You know

I never realized

That a world so incredibly far away as Africa

Could be so close to me

Look where we are right know

On this beautiful little piece of grass

Suffocated by a sea of cement

Oppressed by all the traffic

Look at the people

Running, shouting

Like they have all gone mad

You know I think I just might go back to Africa

You can joke

But you can never compare

This noisy artificial world

With the natural sounds of Africa

A time is strange, mysterious

Weird, almost unreal

Looking to the sky

And raising your arms

You can almost caress it

And you feel inside

To the will to live

Your skin burned

And you feel a man

More man, more sincere

You know I think I might just go back to Africa
