Wajah Yusuf hitam seperti malam hari
The pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
Bulan kuning pucat bersinar di matanya
His path was marked
Jalannya ditandai
By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere
Dengan bintang-bintang di belahan bumi selatan
And he walked his days
Dan dia berjalan berhari-hari
Under African skies
Di bawah langit Afrika
This is the story of how we begin to remember
Inilah kisah bagaimana kita mulai mengingatnya
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
Ini adalah denyut cinta yang kuat dalam pembuluh darah
After the dream of falling and calling your name out
Setelah mimpi jatuh dan memanggil nama Anda keluar
These are the roots of rhythm
Inilah akar irama
And the roots of rhythm remain
Dan akar irama tetap ada
In early memory
Di awal ingatan
Mission music
Misi musik
Was ringing 'round my nursery door
Mendengar pintu kamar bayi saya
I said take this child, Lord
Saya katakan bawa anak ini, Tuhan
From Tucson Arizona
Dari Tucson Arizona
Give her the wings to fly through harmony
Beri dia sayap untuk terbang melalui harmoni
And she won't bother you no more
Dan dia tidak akan mengganggu Anda lagi
This is the story of how we begin to remember
Inilah kisah bagaimana kita mulai mengingatnya
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
Ini adalah denyut cinta yang kuat dalam pembuluh darah
After the dream of falling and calling your name out
Setelah mimpi jatuh dan memanggil nama Anda keluar
These are the roots of rhythm
Inilah akar irama
And the roots of rhythm remain
Dan akar irama tetap ada
Joseph's face was as black as the night
Wajah Yusuf hitam seperti malam
And the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
Dan bulan kuning pucat bersinar di matanya
His path was marked
Jalannya ditandai
By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere
Dengan bintang-bintang di belahan bumi selatan
And he walked the length of his days
Dan dia berjalan sepanjang hari-harinya
Under African skies
Di bawah langit Afrika
