Toto - Africa：歌詞+中文翻譯

Toto於1982年的歌曲，
事實上作者本身並沒有去過非洲，
 雖然他從小就非常憧憬那片神秘的大陸，
於是他寫了這首歌，腦補了自己若去了非洲是怎樣的情形，
怎麼面對自己的愛人聚少離多，
怎麼讓自己為這片大陸做出貢獻，
雖然這一切都只在他腦海出現而已。

I hear the drums echoing tonight

今夜我聽見了鼓聲迴盪

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

不過她只聽到一點點的細語聲

She's coming in, 12:30 flight

她的班機在12:30抵達了

Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

她那雙映著月光的銀翼映著星光，徹底的救贖了我

I stopped an old man along the way

我途中攔下一位長者

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies

希望能那發現久遠失落的文字或旋律

He turned to me as if to say

他轉過來像是要對我說

"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

小子快點，你找的就在那阿

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

這會讓我離開你一段時間

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

這真的沒什麼，上百人都曾經這麼過

I bless the rains down in Africa

我祈禱非洲能降下雨

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

看來需要點時間讓我們去完成之前沒做的事

The wild dogs cry out in the night

野狗在夜裡嚎嘯

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company

他們不安地尋找著其他孤單的狗群

I know that I must do what's right

我知道我該做對的事

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

確定的是 Kilimanjaro如同Olympus突起於Serengeti平原上

I seek to cure what's deep inside

我尋找著治癒內心深處傷痛的方法

Frightened of this thing that I've become

我真怕自己變成那樣子

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

這會讓我離開你一段時間

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

這真的沒什麼，上百人都曾經這麼過

I bless the rains down in Africa

我祈禱非洲能降下雨

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

看來需要點時間讓我們去完成之前沒做的事

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

小子快點，她等著你呢

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

這會讓我離開你一段時間

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

這真的沒什麼，上百人都曾經這麼過

I bless the rains down in Africa

我祈禱非洲能降下雨

I bless the rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

看來需要點時間讓我們去完成之前沒做的事
