Redemption Song

Tété

Transposer:

Old Pirates, yes, they rob I. They sold I to the merchant ships minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit. But my hand was made strong By the hands of the Almighty. We forward in this generation triumphantly. Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom ? Is all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songs. Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds. Have no fear for atomic energy, 'Cause none of them can stop the time. How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look ? Oh yes, some say it's just a part of it. We've got to fulfill the book. Won't you help to sing now songs of freedom ? Is all I ever had, is all redemption songs, redemption songs. You know in every day now In every way, in every way, in every way, yeah Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds. Have no fear for atomic energy, 'Cause none of them can stop the time. How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look ? Some say it's just a part of it. We've got to fulfill We've got to fulfill, the book. Won't you help to sing now the songs of freedom ? When it's all I ever had, is all redemption songs, redemption song, redemption song And then come all with me and all children

Cette chanson évoque les souffrances historiques et la lutte pour la liberté des peuples opprimés. Elle parle du passé douloureux des esclaves, mais aussi de la force que l'on peut puiser dans la foi et la solidarité. La voix de l'artiste appelle à l'émancipation personnelle, soulignant que chacun doit se libérer des chaînes mentales qui entravent la pensée et la liberté d'action. Dans ce contexte, la chanson remet en question les injustices persistantes et incite à un engagement actif pour un avenir meilleur. Il est également question de préserver la mémoire des prophètes et des leaders qui ont été victimes de répression, en reconnaissant que leur héritage doit être honoré et poursuivi. C'est un appel à l'unité et à l'action collective pour chanter des hymnes de liberté et de rédemption.
