Lyrics

Eu gostava de ir um dia a áfrica
Terra de onde veio toda a música
Terra onde o sol enxuga o pranto
E onde a dor se transforma em canto
Oh irmã áfrica
Eu gostava de cantar em áfrica
E dizer o que me vai no fundo
Tua liberdade vale muito mais
Que todos os diamantes do mundo
Oh irmã áfrica

Lyrics translation

I'd like to go to Africa one day
Land where all the music came from
Land where the sun wipes away tears
And where the pain turns into a corner
Oh sister Africa
I liked to sing in Africa
And tell me what goes on in the background
Your freedom is worth so much more
That all the diamonds in the world
Oh sister Africa
