Africa (Voodoo Master)

Lyrics Translation

In dark deep jungle, I hear the wild drum
My heart beats faster knowing my time's come
The voodoo master, waiting for nightfall
Draws signs of magic on my white woman skin

Africa
Charms me with her power
Takes my soul on the midnight hour
Africa
Dancing 'til my body burns so hot
Crying to the voodoo god
Africa

I am dancing barefoot under a red sun
My senses heightened to feel like emotion
Gazel or panther, I hear a lion roar
The voodoo goddess fills me with all her force

Africa
Charms me with her power
Takes my soul on the midnight hour
Africa
Dancing 'til my body burns so hot
Crying to the voodoo god
Africa

In tribal dwelling, I lie in cool shade
From heaven opened falling the sweet rain
From danger hiding between her sharp claws
A shadow is moving bow to the voodoo law

Africa
Charms me with her power
Takes my soul
Crying to the Voodo god
Africa

My heart beats faster knowing my time's come

O mestre vudu, esperando o anoitecer
Draws signs of magic on my white woman skin
Desenha sinais de magia na minha pele de mulher branca
