Je suis amoureuse d'une terre sauvage
Un sorcier vaudou m'a peint le visage
Son gris-gris me suit au son des tam-tams
Parfum de magie sur ma peau blanche de femme
{Refrain:}
Africa
J'ai envie de danser comme toi
De m'offrir à ta loi
Africa
De bouger à me faire mal de toi
Et d'obéir à ta voix
Africa
Je danse pied nus sous un soleil rouge
Les dieux à genoux ont le cœur qui bouge
Le feu de mon corps devient un rebelle
Le cri des gourous a déchiré le ciel
{au Refrain}
Dangereuse et sensuelle, sous ta pluie sucrée
Panthère ou gazelle je me suis couchée
Au creux de tes griffes je suis revenue
A l'ombre des cases je ferai ma tribu
Africa
J'ai envie de danser comme toi
Et d'obéir à ta loi
Africa, Africa
Je suis amoureuse d'une terre sauvage
Un sorcier vaudou m'a peint le visage
Son gris-gris me suit au son des tambours
Parfum de folie, magie de l'amour
Africa! Africa!
