Njoo jiunge na sisi (Come and join us)
Pumzisha muili wako (Rest your body)
Pumzisha roho yako (Rest your soul)
Utakase moyo wako (Let the human touch
Kwa kuishi na wato Afrika - make you whole in 
Africa)

I've never been there, but I know the place
I hear voices calling
Distant voices calling my name
Karibu Afrika (Welcome to Africa)

The dry Savannah heat upon my face
On the liquid horizon
I can see myself without shame
Kuna amani Afrika (There's peace in Africa)

And if my feet could fly
I'd leave no trace
Skim over windblown grasses to
Join the human race

There in the Cradle of Man
Far beyond all pain I would follow the trail
To the place where all longing began
To the cool, clear waters
This is the Cradle of Man

With every step I take I fall behind
The ground forever shifting
Maybe with reason, but without rhyme
Karibu Afrika (Welcome to Africa)

With every dawn I wake to find I'm blind
Groping for redemption
In these most unforgiving of times
Uko huro Afrika (You're free in Africa)

And if my heart could cry
I'd shed my tears
For all those wretched sorrows 
And wasted years

Oh to lie in the Cradle of Man
With the grace of a cheetah in full pursuit
I would fly to the Cradle of Man
To the cool, clear waters
Where all our longing began

And if my feet could fly
I'd fly to you
And if my heart could cry
I'd cry for you

Little boy in the Cradle of Man
Full of wide-eyed wonder you'd take my hand
With the trust of an innocent lamb
You never meant to be leaving
Leaving the Cradle of Man
You were never meant to be leaving
Leaving the Cradle of Man
