AmOnce there was a battle there - GIn Zaïre, in AmZaïre
AmHundred thousand people there - GIn Zaïre, in AmZaïre
AmAll those people gathered there - GIn Zaïre, in AmZaïre
Amto see the rumble in the jungle Gthere, there, there ...
In AmZaïre
AmCame a man called elijan - GIn Zaïre, in AmZaïre
AmWith him came the superstar - GIn Zaïre, in AmZaïre
AmAll those people came from far - GIn Zaïre, in AmZaïre
Amto see the rumble in the jungle - Gthere, there, there ...
