Loading...

[intro: peter gabriel]
muchas gracias

sometimes when a man is brave enough
to fight for the rights of its people
the cost can be very high
this is a song written for a man
who was imprisoned, tortured and k!lled
in a jail in south africa

esta canción fue escrita para un hombre con cora+ coraje
molto coraje
fue torturado y asesinado en una prisión en sudáfrica
por los sufrientes de sudáfrica y por steven biko
[verse 1: peter gabriel]
september ’77
port elizabeth weather fine
it was business as usual
in police room 619

[chorus: peter gabriel, peter gabriel and crowd]
oh biko, biko, because biko
oh biko, biko, because biko
yihla moja, yihla moja
the man is dead
the man is dead

[interlude]

[verse 2: peter gabriel]
when i try and sleep at night
i can only dream in red
the outside world is black and white
with only one colour dead

[chorus: peter gabriel, peter gabriel and crowd]
oh biko, biko, because biko
oh biko, biko, because biko
yihla moja, yihla moja
the man is dead
the man is dead
[interlude]

[verse 3: peter gabriel]
you can blow out a candle
but you can’t blow out a fire
once the flames begin to catch
the wind will blow it higher

[chorus: peter gabriel, peter gabriel and crowd]
oh biko, biko, because biko
oh biko, biko, because biko
yihla moja, yihla moja
the man is dead
the man is dead

[post+chorus: peter gabriel]
and the eyes of the world are watching now
watching now
watching now

[outro: peter gabriel, crowd, ]
(oh+oh+ohhh)
(oh+oh+ohhh)
(oh+oh+ohhh)
, for all those suffering in south africa
, for nelson mandela
. for all prisoners of conscience
, por todos los sufrientes en chile
, y argentina
, justicia, biko
()
, todos

, el resto, ustedes
(oh+oh+ohhh)
(oh+oh+ohhh)
(oh+oh+ohhh)
(oh+oh+ohhh)
(oh+oh+ohhh)
(oh+oh+ohhh)
