All over Africa,
Each baby's ma and pa
Sings him a sleep song,
A "baby don't weep" song,
An African lullaby.
[Suaheli langauge]
After he's played all day
And slumber time comes his way,
You'll see that manly little fella
Kiss his ma and tell her
Everything's okay
[Suaheli langauge]
Love mother brings him,
As she softly sings him
An African lullaby,
[Suaheli langauge]
