[Intro]
Dikaaa
Africa, we are one!
Kutoka East mpaka West
From North to South, we shine as one
Yeah yeah… Africa!
[Verse 1]
Burundi, Rwanda, Kenya na Tanzania
Mwenye damu moja, moyo moja, familia
Cape to Cairo, we move as one line
Hands in the sky, we don’t divide
Dikaaa in the morning, shangwe in the street
Mama cookin’ ugali, the whole block eats
From the drum to the dance, we carry the flame
Different tongues, but we call one name
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, hear the mountain sing
Oh, hear the ocean ring
Side by side we stand
One earth, one heart, one land
[Chorus]
Africa, we are one!
Africa, we are one!
From the sand to the rain
We rise again and again
Africa, we are one!
Africa, we are one!
(One love) in every tongue
(One love) till the day is done
[Verse 2]
Lagos to Lusaka, Cairo to Mombasa
We bring the fire, we don’t need an answer
Kitenge on the waist, beads on the wrist
Old school wisdom with a new school twist
On the matatu ride, on the market floor
Every smile says we can do more
No fear in the blood, no shame in the drum
When Africa calls, we all become one
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, hear the mountain sing
Oh, hear the ocean ring
Side by side we stand
One earth, one heart, one land
[Chorus]
Africa, we are one!
Africa, we are one!
From the sand to the rain
We rise again and again
Africa, we are one!
Africa, we are one!
(One love) in every tongue
(One love) till the day is done
[Bridge]
Raise it high, let it travel far
From village dust to the brightest star
Black gold, red clay, green fields alive
We don’t just survive — we thrive
Dikaaa! Dikaaa!
Hear the people come
[Final Chorus]
Africa, we are one!
Africa, we are one!
From the sand to the rain
We rise again and again
Africa, we are one!
Africa, we are one!
(One love) in every tongue
(One love) till the day is done
