Each step leads me to a new creature
Every glimpse leads me to a new painted picture
From scorching dessert sand to expanding mountain range
This is my Africa

Jumping higher makes me greater
Digging deeper makes them wealthier
Working harder made me poorer
This is my Africa
 
Staadig loop ons voorentoe met geduld
Met uiwerheid gryp ek na die toekoms
More skyn die son dalk helder
Die is my Afrika
 
Uncharted, everyone wanted a piece of you
Some still steal and war after borders you never intended
As cousin fought cousin you soaked unwanted crimson rivers
This is my Africa
 
We shine with the blood of diamonds
We call through the horns of rhinos
We believe with the bones of ancestors
This is my Africa
 
Die Skepper het hier kom speel
Hier het alles begin
Die eerste voel het sy vlerke gestrek hemel toe
Die is my Afrika
 
If I called you another name, would your roses still be as fair?
If we treated you decently, would you still carry proudly the scars you bear?
But your spirit, your tenacity, no other land’s queen could compare.
This is my Africa
 
 We sway our hips to a different beat
Our tongues clap through another rhythmic hit
Mother to the rest of the world
You are my Africa
