Afrika [English translation]

In the wide plains of the savannah

Sharp rocks and a punctured tire

Far from home and our destination

Sun fell from the sky

First glaringly bright and fiercely hot

then hidden and cold as ice

Both is hardly bearable

Hear the lament of misery

A sober spirit will do you well

For the night has a thousand eyes

Here a bristling, there a humming

The wailing just won't stop

Ever closer draws the noise

Sharp teeth and sharp fangs

Want to bury themselves in flesh

And feast on your blood

Africa

You love me

Africa

You love me too much

You won't let me go

Africa

You love me

Africa

You love me way too much

I won't let you go

Wild beasts need to eat

Yes, you almost forgot about that

First a snarling then a growling

And want turns into desire

Desire gives way to compulsion

Will you kiss fear goodbye

For compulsion has long since won

The hunt for your life has begun

The fat prey right in front of you

Hurry, separate it from the herd

Firmly close her tender throat

If you won't another one will

My heart, you're standing still

In my dead breast

Flesh is my religion

You're but a pittance for me

Cradle of mankind, walking upright

How oft' I wanted to be human, before succeeding in

Africa

You love me

Africa

You love me way too much

You won't let me go

Africa

You love me

Africa

You love me way too much

I love you even more
