Bob Marley - Redemption song

Días de calma, días para unos sólo de descanso y de desconexión, para otros días de recogimiento y de redención...

No se me ocurria un tema mejor para un Viernes Santo. Se que la gran mayoria vive al margen de la tradición religiosa de estos días. Y eso que nada tiene que ver la letra ello. Aun con todo me apetecía este tema del jamaicano universal, voz del reagge y pensador de paz. Escrita por el al poco de que le diagnosticaran cancer, supuso un resumen de las ideas de los rastafaris.

Abrid vuestras mentes, relajad vuestros poros...descansad, disfrutad...



Bob Marley - Redemption Song

"Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have:
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? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.

Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom-
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.
Won't you have to sing
This songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom."
