Hannibal's Children (Italian original)

Africa, Africa, Africa, Africa, Africa ...

Hannibal, Hannibal, great black general (2x)
With a swarm of elephants you crossed the Alps and came out in one piece
Back then Europeans couldn't even cross them on foot
But you Hannibal, great black general were able To cross them with a sea of elephants
Do you know how big and slow elephants are? (2x)
And yet Hannibal got them across the Alps with ninety thousand African men
Hannibal defeated the Romans, remaining in Italy as a ruler for fifteen or twenty years

That's why many Italians have dark skin
That's why many Italians have dark hair
That's why many Italians have dark eyes
That's why many Italians have dark skin

Some of Hannibal's blood remained in everybody's veins (2x)
Nobody can say I'm lying (2x)
If you know your history, you know where the color of the blood that runs in your veins comes from (2x)

During the war a few African Americans filled Europe with black children
Can you imagine what they could do in twenty years of military rule?
An army of Africans in southern Italy (2x)

That's why, that's why, that's why, that's why

We are Hannibal's children
We're all, Hannibal's children,
black hair,
Hannibal's children
dark skin
Hannibal's children
with dark eyes
Hannibal's children
Southerns,
Hannibal's children
Mediterranean blood,
Hannibal's children
Mediterranean blood,
Hannibal's children

Hannibal's children
African blood (3x)

Africa, Africa, Africa, Africa, Africa ...
