Africa - Toto

Toto es una banda estadounidense de Blues, y Rock'n Roll, entre otros; que tuvo éxito comercial en la década de 1980.

1982 fue el año clave para la carrera del grupo; se grabó el tercer sencillo, "Africa", una de las mejores canciones de la historia y todo un clásico. Africa entró entre los tres primeros lugares de las listas de éxitos en Norteamérica e Inglaterra. Vendieron 2 millones de copias. En la 25° entrega de los Grammys en febrero de ese año Toto ganó 6 Grammys.



AFRICA

I hear the drums echoin´ tonight
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She´s coming in, twelve thirty flight
Moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward 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, 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
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 seem 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

INSTRUMENTAL

"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 rains down in Africa
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
