From a far distance it's possible to admire the beauty of the mountain.
In its full pride you can see the mountain standing in vast open scenery. For
many people it's also an open invitation to climb the mountain, but for those
who do it without respect it can be pretty uncomfortable. Kilimanjaro takes and
it gives!
The following lyric is written down from the song called "Kilimanjaro". It's
performed by the Safari Bound Band, and it's available on the CD "The Best of
African Songs" (Kelele Records), which I bought in Tanzania July 2003. Are you
ready for sing along?
Kilimanjaro
See what a mountain
See what a beauty
See Kilimanjaro
See what a mountain tall (Repeat)
Kilimanjaro
See what a mountain tall
Kilimanjaro
See what a mountain tall (Repeat)
This song is performed by the Safari Bound Band. Their music is just
perfect for parties, and highly recommended for celebrations after conquering
Kilimanjaro.
