Warm is the night and we are sitting here 'round the fire
The air is dry and thousands of stars in the sky
Drums that are beating so hot and I feel the desire
To dance with Bruwana but she is looking so shy
I come back, African baby
Night and day I'm thinking of you
Legs so black, my African lady
I return, you know it's true
Midnight is near and she's layin' in my arms and we're dreaming
The fire is small and the coldness brings her to my heart
I look in her eyes and I see a strange kind of feeling
Maybe she knows that tomorrow I have to part
I come back, African baby
Night and day I'm thinking of you
Legs so black, my African lady
I return, you know it's true
