Azania is the name that has been applied to various parts of southeastern sub-Saharan Africa. In Roman times—and perhaps earlier—the name referred to a portion of the Southeast African coast extending from Kenya, to perhaps as far south as modern Tanzania.
The earliest attestations for the name Azania do not explain it. John Hilton alludes to a number of etymologies proposed in the nineteenth century that claimed the name was derived from an Arabic or Persian word referring to the dark-skinned inhabitants of Africa, which he dismisses as examples of the colonial mindset of that period. More recently, G.W.B. Huntingford offered two suggestions for the origin of the word. The first was from the Arabic `ajam ("foreigner, non-Arab"). The second, which he favors, comes from the Greek azainein ("to dry, parch").
Pliny the Elder mentions an "Azanian Sea" (N.H. 6.34) that began around the emporium of Adulis and stretched around the south coast of Africa.
The slightly later Periplus of the Erythraean Sea offers more details about Azania (chapters 15,16,18). From chapter 15 of the Periplus, Huntingford identifies Azania proper with the area south of modern day Somalia (the "Lesser and Greater Bluffs", the "Lesser and Greater Strands", and the "Seven Courses"). However, chapter 16 clearly describes Rhapta, as located south of the Puralean Islands at the end of the Seven Courses of Azania, as the "southernmost market of Azania".

Baby baby
I ease the pain
Could see us in our holy faith
But one day we changed I
Dreamed from big in a face
I'm already so tired to carry water open for the other side
Me I don't know but every time I look up I'm waiting for the sky to cry
Maybe be like water falling down from heaven's high
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna waste another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep
I wanna learn to live and stop panicking
I don't want us sit like 2 mannequins
I'm already so tired to carry water open for the other side
Me I don't know but every time I look up I'm waiting for the sky to cry
Why can't we just
Maybe be like water falling down from heaven's high
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna I don't wanna
Cause I don't wanna spend another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Before we dive into the deep end
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Be like water falling down from heaven's high (heaven's high heaven's high)
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna I don't wanna
Cause I don't wanna spend another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
