Текст песни
He said prostrate at my feet, and say a few prayers
I m an african boy, i m an african boy
never looking back
never sets and never rises
Behind my father with a hoe, i was singing Beautiful, seven cowries
the spirits are with you
I ll be brave and i ll be strong, on the farm my father called me down behind a tree
Whispers of the night, seaven cowries
into the wild
And say a few prayers, different people s ways, and you will never fail
The fore-fathers are calling me never tire never weaken, i m an african boy Se'untoose, spirits lying low
whispers of the night
i was singing
in my journey through the world
she said lay upon my bossom
I m an african boy, spirits lying low
I m an african boy, into the wild
Into the wild, said look into my eyes son, and you will never fail
I ll be brave and i ll be strong, spirits lying low
then she told me to go forward
and say a few prayers
over mountains in the wild
Behind my father with a hoe, i m an african boy
different people s ways
The spirits are with you, the spirits are with you
Into the deeps, i was singing, i m an african boy
On the farm my father called me down behind a tree, in the evening mother called me down into her hut, whispers of the night
Never sets and never rises, the sound of baata
I ll be brave and i ll be strong, and say a few prayers, never looking back
