Feel the rhythm
Hear the beat
(ooh-yeah!)
Colors dancing in the street
(ooh-yeah!)
Mask Festival
Join the ride
Cape Town Carnival
Side by side


Sway your body
Move your feet
(move your feet)
Drummers' fingers
Can't be beat
(can't be beat)
Traditions old
Stories told
In the night
The secrets hold


African nights
So alive
(so alive)
Feel the vibe
Feel the drive
(feel the drive)
Dance the night
Till the dawn
Cultural bonds
Never gone


Celebrate
The land so wide
(land so wide)
Heart of Africa
Open wide
(open wide)
Every moment
Memories
Living songs
In the breeze


African nights
So alive
(so alive)
Feel the vibe
Feel the drive
(feel the drive)
Dance the night
Till the dawn
Cultural bonds
Never gone


Village fires
Stories share
(stories share)
Stars above us
Everywhere
(everywhere)
Mask and drum
Bring the magic
None can match
This fantastic
