Текст песни Johnny Clegg and Savuka - Orphans of the empire

Johnny Clegg and Savuka - Orphans of the empire слова песни




In ships they came from Europe, across the salt seaCome for the build and raise a colonyAnd in the jungle green their citadels did gleamIn tribute and homage to the old countryAnd soon their children grew and promised to be trueOrphans of an Empire their destinyChorus:Hold me close AfricaFill my soul AfricaLet me grow old, AfricaLet me inFill my soul AfricaDon`t let me go, AfricaLet me grow old, AfricaAnd remember meImperial gentleman, he built mighty wallsAnd in the jungle atternoon he plays polo when he`s boredHe sips a gin and tonic and tells you confidentiallyHe wishes he understood the indiginiesBut the shadows they are lengthening and the sun it must setBewildered and confused he scurries home to his bedChorusHe cannot understand the soldiers all at handFor with guns you cannot fight a foe that dwells withinBut the batlle had begun and a soldier he`s becomeWho can sing his litany?It`s a beggarman`s prayer or a string on the windWill that be all that lingers on the memory?And who will remember that African December?When he knelt before the colors and swore to do or die?And he kissed his frightened lover, beneath the glowing embersOf that dark, strange heaven, that ancient skyNow he`s gone to dust, just like all good soldiers mustBut the mournful mutter of the battlefield still lingers in the airSo it`s farewell sweet Caroline, farewell ElizabethGoodbye gentle ladies of the old orderAnd farewell to your islands carved upon this continentSome England, some France and some GermanySoon you will return to that dream across the seaCause here is no more honey left for teaChorus
