I hear the drums echoing tonight
(今晚我聽到鼓聲迴盪)

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
(但我的女朋友在電話那頭，只能聽到我話中的猶豫)

She's comin in, 12:30 flight
(她坐十二點半的飛機，要來非洲找我了)

The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
(月光中一隻飛鳥，在星星前消失，那是我心靈的解脫)

I stopped an old man along the way
(我攔住了路上的老頭)

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
(希望能找到一些失落的語言和古老旋律)

He turned to me as if to say
(他轉頭看了我一眼，好像是說…)

"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
(快點，年輕人，你要的東西就在那裡等著你)

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
(要離開這裡，我需要很大的力量)

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
(我希望能留在這個地方)

The wild dogs cry out in the night
(野狗在草原上嗥)

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
(因為，牠們不安的心，其實也渴望獨處)

I know that I must do what's right
(我知道我應該要作個正確的選擇)

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises,  like a leopardess above the Serengetti
(就像吉力馬札羅火山，如此自然的存在；像賽倫蓋地草原上完美的豹，他們不需揀擇或思考)

I seek to cure what's deep inside
(而我一直想找到我的家)
