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 |
