Africa　　　　　　　　　　　Toto

I hear the drums echoing¹ tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars
　　that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words
　　or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say,
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

*It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing² for some solitary³ company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
frightened of this thing that I've become

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you (*)

 非　洲　　　　　　　　托托合唱团

今晚，我听见了鼓的回声
但是她只听见有人窃窃私语，一些低声的对话
她搭乘12:30的班机到达这里
月光之翼反映着星光
指引我得到救赎
我拦下路旁的一位老者
希望能找到那被遗忘许久的言语
或古老的旋律
他转身向我，好象说：
快点！孩子，它就在那儿等着你

那会使我离开你一段时间
即使上百个人也无计可施
我祈求雨会下在非洲
我准备花时间做些我们从未做过的事

野狗在夜里呼嚎
它们总是从不停的寻找孤独的同伴
我知道我必须做些该做的事
像吉力马札罗山如同奥林帕斯山（注）从塞伦盖提平原上升
我寻找着治愈内心的秘方
我害怕变成现在这个样子的自己

快点！孩子，她就那儿等着你
 

注：奥林帕斯山，希腊神话中众神聚居的一座山，位于欧洲。
