I found my love in America
And I made her my nana
I'm just a young man from Africa
Working hard for my nanaI found my love in America
And I made her my nana
I'm just a young man from Africa
Working hard for my nanaAll I owned was a bag of dreams
Put it on my back and I hit the streets
I said "One day I'mma be a king
And build a castle for my queen"I've been looking, I've been longing, I been searching for this girl
I've walking, I've be running, I've be flying all around the worldI found my love in America
And I made her my nana
I'm just a young man from Africa
Working hard for my nanaAnd that shook up the Big Apple tree
Marly made the whole nation scream
I said there might be a place for me
So i had to face the Atlantic SeaI've been looking, I've been longing, I been searching for this girl
I've be looking, I've be running, I've be flying all around the worldI found my love in America
And I made her my nana
I'm just a young man from Africa
Working hard for my nanaNobody gon take her away [x3]

My beautiful nanaA crazy heart could, could never stop
