The flow of Mother Earth

Eh eh eh

Africaaaa

From the soil to the sky

Makossa time

[Chorus] (Makossa Groove)

Mama Africa malembe malembe

We dance our pain we dance our splendor

Mama Africa malembe malembe

Hands in the air make we surrender

Makossa flow feel the power

Africa shine every day every hour

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh eh

Oh oh oh eh

Verse 2

Brazzaville to Douala night

Sweat and joy under city light

Market laugh children play

Hope no sleep it find a way

Kora cry guitar reply

Makossa groove make spirits fly

No chain strong pass our dream

We be more than what they see

Pre-Chorus

From the past we take our name

From tomorrow we light the flame

Unity in every role

Africa take control

Chorus

Mama Africa malembe malembe

We dance our pain we dance our splendor

Mama Africa malembe malembe

Hands in the air make we surrender

Makossa flow feel the power

Africa shine every day every hour

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh eh

Oh oh oh eh

Africa spirit never go low
