Sulwe English Translation:
Come and see the star
A beauty you cannot reduce
And again they won’t be able to
Many cannot understand
Truly she’s beautiful
Everything she can do
I love you
Angel of Africa
Can you see the star
It takes us and can help us
Can you really see the star
There is a star in all of us
Come and see the star.
A beauty you cannot reduce.
And again they won’t be able to.
Many cannot understand.
Can you see the star?
It takes us and can help us.
Can you really see the star.
There is a star in all of us
I can’t believe it’s you. It really is you. Let me give you anything. Love me. I can’t believe it’s you. It really is you. Let me give you anything. Love me
Aye Aye (Aye)
Aye Aye (Aye)
Aye Aye (Mama)
Aye Africa
