Lyrics

Ziya-po ya-ya, pa-pa-ya-pa!
Ti-da-lee, na po-po pu-du-loo!
Ste-na-peh na-na po po-ro po!
Africa unite:
'Cause we're moving right out of babylon
And we're going to our father's land, yea-ea

How good and how pleasant it would be before god and man, yea-eah! -
To see the unification of all africans, yeah! -
As it's been said a'ready, let it be done, yeah!
We are the children of the rastaman;
We are the children of the iyaman

So-o, africa unite:
'Cause the children (africa unite) wanna come home
Africa unite:
'Cause we're moving right out of babylon, yea
And we're grooving to our father's land, yea-ea

How good and how pleasant it would be before god and man
To see the unification of all rastaman, yeah
As it's been said a'ready, let it be done!
I tell you who we are under the sun:
We are the children of the rastaman;
We are the children of the iyaman

So-o: africa unite
Afri - africa unite, yeah!
Unite for the benefit (africa unite) for the benefit of your people!
Unite for it's later (africa unite) than you think!
Unite for the benefit (africa unite) of my children!
Unite for it's later (africa uniting) than you think!
Africa awaits (africa unite) its creators!
Africa awaiting (africa uniting) its creator!
Africa, you're my (africa unite) forefather cornerstone!
Unite for the africans (africa uniting) abroad!
Unite for the africans (africa unite) a yard! /fadeout/
