| Song | Africa, Dream Again |
| Artist | Youssou N'Dour |
| Album | Nothing's in Vain (Coono du réér) [US] |
| 作词 : NDour, Obispo | |
| The telephone's not answered | |
| So many times you'll call | |
| For many different reasons | |
| So many tears will fall | |
| Before you find your love | |
| Before it comes knocking at your door | |
| Before you know for sure | |
| This is what you were waiting for | |
| So many tears will haunt you | |
| Deny them or regret | |
| Some man will make you want to | |
| And you will not forget | |
| Before you find your love | |
| Before it comes knocking at your door | |
| Before you know for sure | |
| This is what you were waiting for | |
| There's a story of a man | |
| Who loved too much | |
| He ended up inside a prison cell | |
| You've got to want to give to get it | |
| Or you could land up | |
| In the same suspicious hell | |
| It's happened before | |
| It's happened before | |
| Coincidence and patience | |
| Will mend this fatal flaw | |
| Though it may seem a long wait | |
| Others have been here | |
| Before you find your love | |
| Before it comes knocking at your door | |
| Before you know for sure | |
| This is what you were waiting for | |
| One day when the phone starts ringing | |
| You'll answer to the words you're longing for | |
| No tears, no trade, no prison cell | |
| Whatever you need, he will return more | |
| It's happened before, it's happened before |
