Beat Afri - Can - Do
BEAT AFRI - CAN - DO
Jembe Jembe!
It calls the dancer Afri!
Long asleep from the curses
Because he cant overcome
So he wails the future of the soil
Jembe! Jembe!
A wave has transcended our chords
Its vibrations and intensity call aloud
It is our will, telling us one thing
Afri! attempt! because you can
Jembe! Jembe!
the courage boils and the veins hardens
I watch you pursue it, each time
With the beat the dance is good and the time ripe
The sun had stuck, the moon dead, waiting
Unleash the ego, dance Afri! Can!
Its now, to be call African!
The beats African do, AFRI CAN DO
Beat AFricando
