Kilimanjaro

Country under the sun, you sky is burning
Just like my heart in the night
It was a long time ago, but I won't ever forget
Those days made of dreams
 
High on the Kilimanjaro,
There is snow even in the summertime
And deep inside my heart, I feel it perfectly,
It still hurts
Nothing is over, and the longing in me
Keeps on painting pictures of you
Foreign was your country, yet familiar the emotion
I felt by your side
 
On the other side of Africa, I dream
Of seeing Kenya again
And at the edge of the night, when the sun sinks,
Of walking with you in the steppe
 
High on the Kilimanjaro,
There is snow even in the summertime
And deep inside my heart, I feel it perfectly,
It still hurts
Nothing is over, and the longing in me
Keeps on painting pictures of you
Foreign was your country, yet familiar the emotion
I felt by your side
 
The horizon was so blue and so infinitely far,
Here I felt I piece of eternity
The stars within hand's reach,
As I had never seen them before
 
High on the Kilimanjaro,
There is snow even in the summertime
And deep inside my heart, I feel it perfectly,
It still hurts
Nothing is over, and the longing in me
Keeps on painting pictures of you
Foreign was your country, yet familiar the emotion
I felt by your side
 
Foreign was your country, yet familiar the emotion
I felt by your side
