Bob Marley 75


Se Bob Marley estivesse vivo comemoria hoje 75 anos.

É tremendamente dificil para escolher uma canção preferida de BoB Marley. Three Little Birds é talvez a escolhida.
Mas para este dia elejo Redemption Song. Pertence ao último album, Uprising, que ele assinou antes da sua morte em 1981. O seu canto do cisne uma vez que o cantor jamaicano sabia que tinha pouco tempo de vida

Este clip foi criado especialmente para celebrar o seu aniversário na data de hoje.





Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pits

But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but our self 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 the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Oh, 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 the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs

These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
