Cutugno-Losito/Ward-Pallavicini
You know,
I never realized
That a world so incredibly far away
As Africa
Could be so close to me.
Look, where we are right now
On this beautiful little piece of grass
Suffocated by a sea of cement,
Oppressed by all the traffic.
Look at the people
Running, shouting,
Like they have gone mad.
You know,
I think, I just might go back
To Africa.
You can joke,
But you can never compare
This noisy, artificial world
With the natural sounds of Africa.
A time strange, mysterious,
Weird, almost unreal.
Looking to the sky
And raising your arms
You can almost caress it
And you feel inside
To the will to live.
Your skin burned
And you feel a man.
More man.
More sincere.
