I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"


It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had


The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company

I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become


Gonna take a lot to drag me away from
There's nothing that hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had


Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from
There's nothing that hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rains
)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa


Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

I was a teen when this came out, I can't help but sing along. One of the best most contagious songs ever.

[maupinmans]

This song is probably one of the greatest in my lifetime. There are a lot of them being born in the early sixties, but this strikes right at my heart strings!

[asitsaha]

Wonderful song. The rhythm is felt correct with the vibrating of musical instruments. The voice is beautiful.Above all 'Toto-Africa' is an enjoyable piece. Thanks to the artistes .

[eduardorodriguez]

I don't have words to describe how awesome this song is, i love it.

[randall]

I never get tired of listening to this.

[michellejackson]

I'm 55 I was 15 when this was a hit still a hit. ❤

[zxpaulwalkerxz]

Recuerdo cuando en GTA Vice City me sonaba esta canción, lo único que hacía era conducir y conducir por toda la isla.
¡Hermosos momentos!

[smusicfan]

Africa
Toto
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)

Great video, great music, great band .Testimony to the musical vision and talent of the bands of the 1980s and MTV at that time!

[liam]

60's 70's & 80's were great years for good Bands & music. After that it was terrible! Great to have been around for those 3 decades of great music!

[luly]

The drums are echoing tonight. Love this song.

[janish]

My 31 yr old son committed suicide. His brothers went to a bar the night they got into town after the funeral. One said to another, "You know Andy's messing with the radio don't you?" The other said, "Ok, if he is, he needs to play Africa." It was the next song that came on. Do not question whether your loved ones are near. This isn't the last time we've heard from Andy and I hope it's never
the last.

[TDUShelby]

Maybe it's the music, maybe it's the words, but this song makes me kinda emotional for some reason.
Simply lovely.

[darrylwillett]

One of the songs that defines the 80's.

[TheJpl]

one of my favorit song of the 80's and i can feel it inside.

[Russell]

I never grow tired of hearing this legendary song!

[leandrorietjens]

Uma das melhores músicas de todos os tempos. Ouço há mais de 35 anos, e não me canso de

[MrNobelmusiQ]
