Afrique adieu,Belle Africa.Où vont les eaux bleuesDu Tanganyika
?Afrique adieu.Ton cœur sambaSaigne autant qu'il peut.Ton cœur
s'en va.Il pleut des oiseaux aux AntillesSur des
forêts de magnolias.Les seins dorés brûlants des fillesPassent
à deux pas de mes dix doigts.Des musiciens
de CasamanceAux marabouts de Pretoria,C'est tout un peuple
fou qui danseComme s'il allait mourir de joie.Afrique
adieu,Belle Africa.Où vont les eaux bleuesDu Tanganyika ?Afrique
adieu.Ton cœur sambaSaigne autant qu'il peut.Ton cœur s'en
va.Sur les étangs de Malawi,La nuit résonne comme
un signal.C'est pour une fille de NairobiQu'un tambour
joue au Sénégal.Et de Saint Louis à Yaoundé,Des
lacs salés au vieux Kenya,C'est tout un peuple
qui va danserComme s'il allait mourir de joie.Afrique
adieu.Tes masques de boisN'ont plus dans leurs yeuxL'éclair
d'autrefois.Afrique adieu.Là où tu iras,Les esprits du feuDanseront
pour toi.Afrique adieu,Belle Africa.Où vont les eaux bleuesDu
Tanganyika ?Afrique adieu.Ton cœur sambaSaigne autant qu'il peut.Ton
cœur s'en va.
