Oh, Mes amis on ne choisit pas son destin
Les jours se ressemblent mais ne sont pas les mêmes
Les doigts de la main ne sont pas tous Ã(c)gaux
Dans ce monde, on est complÃ(c)mentaire
En Afrique, il y a la canicule
Il y a le soleil, il y a la chaleur humaine
Il y a le soleil, il y a la joie de vivre
Il y a le soleil, on est tous ensemble
Africa, Africa, Africa
Solidarité Africa, Africa, Africa
C’est la joie de vivre
Il y a des pays où c’est la neige
Il y a des pays où, c’est la canicule
Il y a des pays où, c’est les tempêtes
Il y a des pays où, c’est des îles
Dans ce monde, on est complÃ(c)mentaire
Africa, Africa, Africa
Solidarité Africa, Africa, Africa
C’est la joie de vivre
En Afrique, il n’y a pas que la guerre
En Afrique, il n’y a pas que la famine
En Afrique, il y a la solidarité Il y a les parents, il y a aussi les frères
Il y a les soeurs, il y a aussi les cousins
Il y a les amis, il y a aussi la famille
La communauté, on est tous ensemble
En Afrique, il y a la joie de vivre
Africa, Africa, Africa
Solidarité Africa, Africa, Africa
C’est la joie de vivre

Rockin'
Oh, my friends, we don't choose our Destiny.
The days are similar but are not the same
Not all fingers of the hand are Welsh
In this world, we are complete
In Africa, there is heat
There's the sun, there's the human heat
There's the sun, there's the joie de vivre
There's the sun, we're all together
Africa, Africa, Africa
Solidarity Africa, Africa, Africa
This is the joy of living
There are countries where it is snow
There are countries where it is the heatwave
There are countries where it is storms
There are countries where it is islands
In this world, we are complete
Africa, Africa, Africa
Solidarity Africa, Africa, Africa
This is the joy of living
In Africa, there is not only war
In Africa, there is not only famine
In Africa, there is solidarity there are parents, there are also brothers
There are sisters, there are cousins too
There's friends, there's family too
The community, we are all together
In Africa, there is the joie de vivre
Africa, Africa, Africa
Solidarity Africa, Africa, Africa
This is the joy of living
