Original Lyrics
Translation in Slovak
verse
I hear the drums echoing tonight
Dnes v noci počujem ozývať sa bubny
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
Ale ona počuje len šepoty nejakého tichého rozhovoru
She′s coming in, 12:30 flight
Prichádza s letom o 12:30
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
Na krídlach zaliatych mesačným svitom sa odrážajú hviezdy, ktoré ma vedú k spáse
I stopped an old man along the way
Zastavil som starého pána po ceste
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
Dúfajúc že nájdem nejaké zabudnuté slová a staroveké melódie
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
Otočil sa ku mne akoby povedal: "Ponáhľaj sa, chlapče, čaká tam na teba"
chorus
It′s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Bude to stáť veľa, aby ma to od teba odtiahlo preč
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Ani sto či viac chlapov by s tým nič nedokázalo spraviť
I bless the rains down in Africa
Požehnávam dažďom tam v Afrike
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Bude to trvať nejaký čas, kým spravíme veci, ktoré sme nikdy nemali
verse
The wild dogs cry out in the night
Divoké psy vyjú v noci
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
Zatiaľ čo v nich rastie nepokoj, túžia po nejakej osamelej spoločnosti
I know that I must do what's right
Viem, že musím spraviť to, čo je správne
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
Tak isto, ako Kilimandžáro stúpa ako Olympus nad Serengeti
I seek to cure what′s deep inside
Hľadám liek, ktorý je hlboko vovnútri
Frightened of this thing that I′ve become
Vystrašený z toho, čím som sa stal
chorus
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Bude to stáť veľa, aby ma to od teba odtiahlo preč
There′s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Ani sto či viac chlapov by s tým nič nedokázalo spraviť
I bless the rains down in Africa
Požehnávam dažďom tam v Afrike
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Bude to trvať nejaký čas, kým spravíme veci, ktoré sme nikdy nemali
bridge
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
Ponáhľaj sa, chlapče, čaká tam na teba
chorus
It′s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Bude to stáť veľa, aby ma to od teba odtiahlo preč
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Ani sto či viac chlapov by s tým nič nedokázalo spraviť
I bless the rains down in Africa
Požehnávam dažďom tam v Afrike
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain)
Žehnám dažde dole v Afrike (žehnám dážď)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain)
Žehnám dažde dole v Afrike (žehnám dážď)
outro
I bless the rains down in Africa
Požehnávam dažďom tam v Afrike
I bless the rains down in Africa (gonna take the time)
Žehnám dažde dole v Afrike (budem mať čas)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Bude to trvať nejaký čas, kým spravíme veci, ktoré sme nikdy nemali
