Testo Africa - Mama Marjas
Testo della canzone Africa (Mama Marjas), tratta dall'album 90
Africa
Uh uh uh
Africa
It happened seven million years ago
The history of the world began then (Oh oh oh ah oh oh)
The animals began to work
Starting from Kenya spread around the globe (Oh oh oh oh oh)
But I know you are more powerful than what they think
They don't let you grow only because they fear
White men were superior only technologically (Only technologically)
They took your big and strong people
Wanted mighty men to make them work (To work, to work)
Men stronger than them (Stronger than them)
Take them from their land and their families
To be protagonist of four hundred years of
Slavery (Four hundred years of slavery)
Yes, it's reality
But I know you are more powerful than what they think
They don't let you grow only because they fear
White men were superior only technologically (Only technologically)
Mama you are the cradle of mankind
And still fight for your rights
Humanity should thank you
For what you were always and only giving
Your culture, your simplicity, your natural beauties
Make you the best of all places
That's why everyone want to come
America was populated by your children
Who lived each day discrimination and problems
(They didn't like it, and put them in the ghetto)
But they showed with medicine supremacy
Their culture, their music, a big legacy
(Legacy, history, music)
That's what I think
And I know you are more powerful than what they think
They don't let you grow only because they fear
White men were superior only technologically (Only technologically)
Ma-ma-ma-mama you are the cradle of mankind
And still fight for your rights
Humanity should thank you
For what you were always and only giving
Your culture, your simplicity, your natural beauties
Make you the best of all places
That's why everyone want to come
Mandela, Martin Luther, Malcolm X and Rosa Parks
They did fight for your honor
(Fighting for justice and human rights)
They did fight so much (All for you)
Marcus Garvey dreamed repatriation
Jesse Owens crossed the ocean
To win (To win)
To show African skill
But I know you are more powerful than what they think
They don't let you grow only because they fear
White men were superior only technologically (Only technologically)
Ma-ma-ma-mama you are the cradle of mankind
And still fight for your rights
Humanity should thank you
For what you were always and only giving
Your culture, your simplicity, your natural beauties
Make you the best of all places
That's why everyone want to come
Want to come
So if you come from America, you are an African
If you come from Trinidad, you are an African
So if you come from Jamaica, you are an African
If you come from Spain, you are an African
If you come from India, you are an African
If you come from UK, you are an African
If you come from Italy, you are an African
If you come from Germany, you are an African
Africa, we want to come
Africa, we want to come
Africa, we want to come
