Il était une fois une Afrique déchirée (déchirée)
Laissée pour compte, mais aujourd'hui on est réveillé
L'esclavage nous a détruit, la réligion nous a divisé (divisé)
L'ignorance nous contrôle, la vérité nous fait peur
Certains de nos dirigeants qui ont refusé ont été tués (tués)
La population terrorisée, ils disent qu'ils viennent nous sauver
On en marre, d'en avoir marre
We got to wake up and move now
- Chorus
Wake up now Africa
Wake up now Africa
We got to wake up and move now
Wake up now Africa
Africa aaaa
Wake up now Africa
- Verse 2
La france finance et arme certains rebels,
Juste pour nous destabiler et nous fragiliser
L'etat obligé d'acheter des armes chez la france
L'etat n'a pas de blé, la france lui prête à des taux élevés
Pendant que l'état et les rebels se battent now
La france vole nos richesses et pillent nos biens
On en marre, d'en avoir marre
We got to wake up and move now
- Chorus
Wake up now Africa
Wake up now Africa
We got to wake up and move now
Wake up now Africa
Wake up now Africa
- Verse 3
Au cours de cette guerre, l'état capture certains rebels
Les chefs rebels disent à la france qu'ils ont abandonner
La france qui veut pas, envoie un militaire en cadeau aux rebels
Et crie partout, ce pays est un danger pour les touristes
Le president pour laver l'image du pays
Est obligé (de payer une rançon)
Les rebels ont du blé qu'ils envoient à nouveau à la france
La france leur donne des armes et la guerre recommence
We got to wake up and move now
- Chorus
Wake up now Africa
Wake up now Africa
We got to wake up and move now
Wake up now Africa
Africa aaaa
Wake up now Africa
La politique france afrique cìest du pipo
La politique europe afrique c'est du rigolo
- Chorus
We got to wake up and move now
Wake up now Africa
Wake up now Africa
Africa aaaa
Wake up now Africa
