Home(original) |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Africa must survive |
Lorsqu’on tient l’Afrique par la corne d’ivoire |
Elle n’a pas la forme d’un gun mais d’un porte-voix |
Le monde, un échiquier où règnent les rois |
Où les pions noirs ont toujours un coup de retard |
Mais les porteurs d’eau savent aussi gérer les puits |
Les écoles s’remplissent même si les cerveaux fuient |
Notre histoire est lucide |
Le berceau de l’humanité, c’est le tombeau de Lucy |
On change une famine en grève de la faim |
Si le mendiant opère, c’est pour faire don de la main |
Lève les deux poings, Africain fier |
Car les endettés d’hier seront les rentiers de demain |
Nos lignes de vie rempliront les livres vides |
Et détruiront les prisons de Libreville |
En Amazigh ou en Swahili |
Tout le monde sait dire «soyons libres» |
Je veux toucher ce rêve auquel je ne peux croire |
J’ai rêvé de ces pays où les hommes ont des droits |
Mais l’illusion s’achève, à défaut de pouvoir |
Tenir les rennes, que s’unissent nos sœurs et nos frères |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Africa must survive |
Ces quelques paroles servent de potion |
Révèlent la lumière des peuples à la peau sombre |
Appelle-moi «Médine, premier du nom» |
J’viens du continent qu’on prend pour le grenier du monde |
J’alarme les âmes charitables |
Que le saint-bernard aboie parfois au pied du mauvais arbre |
Sorti d’un braquage amical |
L’Afrique est coiffée du bonnet de Cabral Amilcar |
Porte la fierté comme une seconde peau |
Comme un leader à lunettes du RDC Congo |
J’suis un tatouage tribal dans une main de Fatma |
J’réunis les hommes à la manière du Mahatma |
Aux cris du Libyen libérable |
Bientôt l’esclave limera les barreaux du Liberia |
En Lingala ou en langue arabe |
Tout le monde lit bien «liberta» |
Je veux toucher ce rêve auquel je ne peux croire |
J’ai rêvé de ces pays où les hommes ont des droits |
Mais l’illusion s’achève, à défaut de pouvoir |
Tenir les rennes, que s’unissent nos sœurs et nos frères |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Africa must survive |
Survive, yeah, yeah |
Africa must survive |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head, oh, oh |
Africa must survive |
(translation) |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Africa must survive |
When Africa is held by the ivory horn |
She doesn't have the shape of a gun but of a megaphone |
The world, a chessboard where kings reign |
Where black pawns are always one step behind |
But water carriers also know how to manage wells |
The schools are filling up even if the brains are leaking |
Our story is lucid |
The Cradle of Humankind is Lucy's Tomb |
Turning a famine into a hunger strike |
If the beggar operates, it is to donate the hand |
Raise both fists, proud African |
For the indebted of yesterday will be the rentiers of tomorrow |
Our lifelines will fill the empty books |
And destroy the prisons of Libreville |
In Amazigh or Swahili |
Everybody knows how to say "let's be free" |
I wanna touch this dream I can't believe |
I dreamed of those countries where men have rights |
But the illusion ends, for lack of power |
Hold the reins, unite our sisters and our brothers |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Africa must survive |
These few words serve as a potion |
Reveal the light of dark-skinned peoples |
Call me "Medina, first of the name" |
I come from the continent that we take for the attic of the world |
I alarm charitable souls |
May the Saint Bernard sometimes bark at the foot of the wrong tree |
Came out of a friendly robbery |
Africa is wearing the bonnet of Cabral Amilcar |
Wear pride like a second skin |
Like a bespectacled leader from the DRC Congo |
I'm a tribal tattoo in a hand of Fatma |
I bring men together like the Mahatma |
To the cries of the releasable Libyan |
Soon the slave will file the bars of Liberia |
In Lingala or Arabic language |
Everyone reads "liberta" well |
I wanna touch this dream I can't believe |
I dreamed of those countries where men have rights |
But the illusion ends, for lack of power |
Hold the reins, unite our sisters and our brothers |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Home is all I have |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head |
Africa must survive |
Africa must survive |
Survive, yeah, yeah |
Africa must survive |
Home is on my mind |
Always in my head, oh, oh |
Africa must survive |
