Wela wela

Time

Ain't nothing but illusion sometimes we find

Nothing but confusion that makes us blind

Now throw away your fears

Cause happiness is here

Let me in your ears

Singing

Break it down get it down like an African

Move your body to my sound like an African

Shout it out very loud like an African

You can dance dance like an African

Oh-ya oh-ya mama Africa

Oh-ya oh-ya mama Africa

Oh-ya oh-ya mama Africa

Oh-ya oh-ya

Wela wela

Wela wela

Life

Is like a floating river

There's no end dive

You don't have to shiver

There is a friend

Now throw away your fears

Cause happiness is hear

Let me in your ears

Singing

Break it down get it down like an African

Move your body to my sound like an African

Shout it out very loud like an African

You can dance dance like an African

Oh-ya oh-ya mama Africa

Oh-ya oh-ya mama Africa

Oh-ya oh-ya mama Africa

Oh-ya oh-ya

Wela wela

Wela wela

Donnes tout meme si t'as rien comme un Africain

Viens faire danser tes chagrins comme un Africain

Envoutes-moi de tes mains comme un Africain

Et puis danses danses comme un Africain

Alright

Dans l'ombre tout scintille

Je vois aucune autre fille

Et tout mon coeur vacille

Suis-moi

Break it down get it down (mama Africa)

Move your body to my sound (mama Africa)

Shout it out very loud (mama Africa)

You can dance dance like an African

Break it down get it down like an African

Move your body to my sound like an African

Shout it out very loud like an African

You can dance dance like an African
