Hey, oh.Eo, oh.
Between the Bantu King, the chief, and the Zulu,Entre el Rey Bantú, el babú y el zulú,
when I arrived, what a mess it turned into.cuando yo llegué vaya lío que se armó.
Hey, oh.Eo, oh.
I thought to myself: how ugly they are.Para mi pensé: que feísimos que son.
They’re gonna eat me. I’m not sticking around here.Me van a comer. Aquí no me quedo yo.
Hey, oh.Eo, oh.
They were so decked out I couldn’t understand,Iban tan pintados que no pude comprender,
they smiled at me and said, come take a look.que me sonreian y decian ven a ver.

Africa,África,
to the sound of the drum,al sonido del tam tam,
everyone dances non-stop,todos bailan sin parar,
this is in Africa.esto es en África.
Africa,África,
with its magical power,con su mágico poder,
under the moon's spell, I stayed.hechizada por la luna me quedé.

The Bantu King said: This one’s mine,Dijo el Rey Bantú: Esta me la quedo yo,
and the other two: You don’t even believe that.y los otros dos: Eso no lo crees ni tú.
Hey, oh.Eo, oh.
And since all three wanted to win me over,Y como los tres me querian conseguir,
I proposed that they let me choose.les propuse yo que me dieran a elegir.
Hey, oh.Eo, oh.

While I was thinking,Mientras lo pensaba,
they brought me,me traian para mí,
gems and diamonds, emeralds and ivory.gemas y diamantes, esmeraldas y marfil.

Africa,África,
to the sound of the drum,al sonido del tam tam,
everyone dances non-stop,todos bailan sin parar,
this is in Africa.esto es en África.
Africa,África,
with its magical power,con su mágico poder,
under the moon's spell, I stayed.hechizada por la luna me quedé.
