Reprise de l'une des plus célèbres chansons de reggae, “Redemption Song” est à l'origine un titre du groupe Bob Marley & The Wailers, publié le 1er janvier 1979 sur Uprising, leur dernier album du vivant de Bob Marley.
Yannick Noah n'a presque pas modifié les paroles originales pour cette repris...
[Intro]
Hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm
Yeah, ah
Hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
Redemption songs (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
[Verse 2]
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 fulfill the book
[Chorus]
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
Redemption songs (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
Redemption songs (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
[Bridge]
In every way now
In every day now
In every way now
In every day now
[Chorus]
Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom? (Help to sing)
Help to sing, that's the song of freedom
Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom? (Songs of freedom)
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
Redemption songs (Hmm-hmm-hmm, yeah, oh-oh)
Redemption songs (Hmm-hmm-hmm, oh-oh)
Redemption songs (Hmm-hmm-hmm, oh-oh)
Songs of freedom
