Genius South Africa Translations
Vicky Sampson - Afrikan Dream (English Translation)
Sometimes alone in the evening
I look outside mywindow
At the shadows in the night
I hear the sound of distant crying
The darkness multiplying
And weary hearts denied
All I feel is my heart beat
Beating like a drum, beating with confusion
All I hear are the voices, telling me to go
But I could never run

Cause in my Afrikan Dream
There's a new tomorrow
My Afrikan dream
Is a dream that we can follow

Now when the night begins to fall
I listen for your call
I listen for you heartbeat
Alone my dream is just a dream
Another false illusion, a shadow in the night
All I want is for our heartbeats to be beating just as
One
To silence the confusion
Then the pain and illusion will disappear again
And we will never run
Cause in my Afrikan Dream
There’s a new tomorrow
My Afrikan Dream
Is a dream that we can follow

And though it would seem my hope's an illusion
My Afrikan Dream is an end to the confusion

My fellow Africans
You have a bright future
The pride of Afrika
We will follow you, Africans
We see the spark
The light of joy
The pride of Afrika
The end of all tribulation
