Lyrics

African Nostalgia

(Kenyan children singing)
Chorus
Eh la la Oh La La
African Nostalgia

Verse 1
Take me back to the place
Where I played with sand and water
Take me back to the time
I was running down the streets
Rolling my wheels
Picking up snail shells
Cracking them open
Eating fireflies with my mouth wide open
Eh la la Oh La La

Chorus
Eh la la Oh La La
African Nostalgia

Verse 2
Joy, Happiness and Carefree Living
The sound of cock crows at dawn
And the agolos ringing
Mama's voice is calling
In the wake of twilight
Tales by moonlight
At Grandpa's feet
I’m peeping through the window
I hear the hawkers screaming their wares

Bridge
Ooooooooooooh African Nostalgia 3X
OOooooo oooh
Chorus
Eh la la Oh La La
African Nostalgia 2x
Hear the children singing yeah yeah yeah
African Nostalgia
See the Mamas dancing yeah yeah yeah
African Nostalgia
And the Papas smiling
The sun is shining yeah
African Nostalgia
