Africa, she is our mother
Africa, land of our birth
Africa gave us our culture
Her children all over the world

We took what we had
Every woman and man
Made good from the bad
And our music expands
Like a divine plan
Increasing it’s span
Diverse humanity created magnificence

Africa, she is our mother
Africa, land of our birth
Africa gave us our culture
Her children all over the world

Beginning with love her children gave birth
From remembered drums
Through all of the hurt wove each creation
Every note every word
Unified diverse
Human
Magnificent
That continent

Samba bembe
Samba bembe
Samba bembe
Samba bembe, oh

Samba bembe
Samba bembe
Samba bembe
Samba bembe, oh
