The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Pride of Africa" by the artist "Yaki-Da"

Contents

In Yaki-Da's song "Pride of Africa," the "Pride of Africa" is a metaphor for the railway that runs through the entire continent from south to north, from Cape Town to Cairo. The song's lyrical hero travels by the "Blue Train," crossing different countries and admiring the beauty of the continent.

The "Pride of Africa" in the song is not just a railway line; it is a symbol of Africa's unity and grandeur, its rich nature, and cultural heritage. Traveling along this road is a journey into the heart of Africa, an opportunity to see its diversity and feel its unique spirit.

The songwriter praises the beauty of African nature – mountains, waterfalls, rivers – and mentions different countries along the way: Zambia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe. He shows that the "Pride of Africa" unites different parts of the continent, creating a unique image of Africa in all its glory.

Cape-Cairo track runs through the continent but is incomplete

Pride of Africa is going through the heart of Africa

Pride of Africa the track of south-east Africa

I don't care about the Blue train

Here's from Africa with love

Pride of Africa, I'm travelling through the heart of Africa

Oh oh oh, with the Pride of Africa

Oh oh oh, in the heart of Africa

I see many different places

From Cape Town to Par-Es-Salaam

Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe

And South Africa

Cape Town to Kimberley and Warrenton and Bulawayo

Up to Kaipiri Mposhi in the north

That's how the maintrack goes

And after that there's another line

Built by the Chinese, the Tazara-track

Pride of Africa is going through the heart of Africa

Pride of Africa the track of south-east Africa

I don't care about the Blue train

Here's from Africa with love

Pride of Africa, I'm travelling through the heart of Africa

Oh oh oh, with the Pride of Africa

Oh oh oh, in the heart of Africa

I see many different places

From Cape Town to Par-Es-Salaam

Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe

And South Africa

Falling water

I want to feel it touch my skin so warm at Victoria

Under the falls

Between Zimbabwe and Zambia

Pride of Africa,

Heart of Africa

Pride of Africa the track of south-east Africa

I don't care about the Blue train

Here's from Africa with love

Pride of Africa, I'm travelling through the heart of Africa

Oh oh oh, with the Pride of Africa

Oh oh oh, in the heart of Africa

I see many different places

From Cape Town to Par-Es-Salaam

Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe

And South Africa

Nothing seems to change but the time

Such a beautiful ride
