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 assumes 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
