john edmond - jambo kilimanjaro lyrics

for many centuries n0body believed
there was a mountain in the african cloud
with a snow+capped dome that rumbled and moaned;
kilimanjaro was hidden in a shroud
but the years have flown and the secrets are all known
about her equatorial paradise
so i asked a chagga guide to help me up her sides
through her rainforests, lava, snow and ice
“jambo! jambo! kilimanjaro!” a chagga porter sang to me
“po+le, po+le, you gotta go slowly
and soon upon uhuru’s peak you will be”
“jambo! jambo! kilimanjaro!” a chagga porter sang to me
“uhuru’s calling we’ll be thеre by morning
soon your spirit will be free.”
the mountain is hard and it’s in africa’s back yard
thе paths are steep and nights are so cold
blood sweat and tears and a little bit of fear
to climb her you gotta be bold
the chagga porter’s near and he whispers in my ear
“don’ give up you’ll be there bye and bye
when the road seems long and you wanna go home
think about that freedom in the sky.”
“jambo! jambo! kilimanjaro!” a chagga porter sang to me
“po+le, po+le, you gotta go slowly
and soon upon uhuru’s peak you will be”
“jambo! jambo! kilimanjaro!” a chagga porter sang to me
“uhuru’s calling we’ll be there by morning
soon your spirit will be free.”
i’ve walked for days and days through the cloud and the haze
and i’m wondering just why the h+ll i came
i can hardly breath and i’m crawling on my knees
to climb this thing you gotta be insane
now i’m on the peak and i can hardly speak
i’ve battled through the ice and the scree
the sun begins to rise and i’m finally alive
kilimanjaro, you set my spirit free
“jambo! jambo! kilimanjaro!” a chagga porter sang to me
“po+le, po+le, you gotta go slowly
and soon upon uhuru’s peak you will be”
“jambo! jambo! kilimanjaro!” a chagga porter sang to me
“uhuru’s calling we’ll be there by morning
soon your spirit will be free.”
the paths are steep and nights are so cold
