I've traveled so much
From cities without tomorrow
From countries sad enough to cry
Explored so many false trails
From conformist provinces
From ready-to-wear continents
And all this time spent
Looking for you
On the remote lands of the whole world

Back to Africa
The other part of me
I missed your sun
I missed your sun

Back to Africa
The other half of me
I missed your warmth
I missed your warmth

I've pursued so many illusions
In these cities of mystery
Sailed on not very clear seas
I looked for you even beyond
My future, my steps
What I was looking for, I didn't know
How much time wasted
On desperate escapes
To end up there, at the bottom of my street?

Back to Africa
The other part of me
I missed your sun
I missed your sun

Back to Africa
The other half of me
I missed your warmth
Africa, Africa

Back to Africa
Ouh-ouh-ouh
Back to Africa
Ouh-ouh-ouh
Africa, Africa

Back to Africa
The other part of me (yembélé, yembélé, yembélé)
Africa, Africa

Back to Africa
The other half of me (yembélé, yembélé, yembélé, yembélé)
Africa, Africa

Back to Africa
The other part of me (yembélé, yembélé, yembélé)
Africa, Africa
