Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear a hand stroke on a drum
Elegant boy, beautiful girl

Dancing for joy elegant whirl

Shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night afro blue

Two young lovers dance face to face

With undulating grace
They gently sway, then slip away
To some secluded place


Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night afro blue


Whispering trees, echo their sighs
Passionate pleas, tender replies

Lovers in flight upward they glide
Burst at the height slowly subside


Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night afro blue


And my slumbering fantasy $$#umes reality
Until it seems it's not a dream for two for you and me


Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night afro blue


Oh, shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night afro blue


Shades of delight afro, afro blue
