[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
You are my African queen
Ooh, Lord, ooh, Lord, hm
[Verse 1]
Just like the sun lights up the Earth
You light up my life (Hmm)
The only one I’ve ever seen
With a smile so bright (Hey)
And just yesterday
You came around my way, ay
And changed my whole scenery
With your astonishing beauty
Oh, you coulda make a brother sing
No ordinary thing, a supernatural being
And, oh, you are brighter than the moon
Brighter than the star, I love you just the way you are
[Chorus]
And you are my African queen
The girl of my dreams
You take me where I’ve never been
You make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, oh-ah
You are my African queen
The girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty, eh
[Interlude]
Hey, yeah
Ooh-ooh
You are my African queen
Oh, Lord, ooh-ooh, Lord, hm
[Verse 2]
Out of a million, you stand as one
The outstanding one (Hmm)
I look into your eyes
Girl, what I see is paradise
Ayy, you captivated my soul
Now, every day, I want you more
How can I deny this feeling
I’m feeling inside?
Ayy! No other cannot take your place
They cannot take your space
That is a fact I cannot erase
And, oh, you are the one that makes me smile
Make me float like a boat upon the Nile
[Chorus]
Girl, you are my African queen
The girl of my dreams
You take me where I’ve never been
You make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, eh-ah
You are my African queen
The girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing, eh
And that is the African beauty, yeah
[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oi
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oi
[Bridge]
You are my African queen
And I know, oh yes, I know (Hmm)
You are my African queen
And I know, see, I know
See I know what I am feeling in my heart and in my soul
Oh, I know that it is love
And I know that this love was surely sent from up above
‘Cause you’re the only one that I think of
You are my African queen and I know that this means
That you’re the only one that I will serve
I’ll give you my heart, my love, my body, and my money
Every other thing you think of
Inaman, who could think of anything better than you?
Who could think of ever hurting you?
Sacrifice my all, I’ll give it all to you
You are my African Queen for real
[Chorus]
Girl, you are my African queen
The girl of my dreams (The girl of my dreams)
You take me where I’ve never been (Oh, na-na, yeah)
You make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, eh-ah (Oh, Lord, eh)
You are my African queen (You are my African queen)
The girl of my dreams (My African queen)
And you remind me of a thing, eh (Oh, eh)
And that is the African beauty, yeah
[Outro]
So black, so beautiful
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
Munyemo, I love you, I love you, I love you
Munyemo, I love you, I love you
Oh, yeah, my African queen
I love you, I love you
