"We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind."Nuestras mentes están esclavizadas y solo nosotros podemos liberarlas. Se me antoja trasladar esa idea a mi propio momento y lugar: me gustaría ser más libre y reconozco que las mayores taras a mi libertad están instaladas dentro de mi propia mente. Liberarse siempre merece la pena, y es un trabajo para el día a día, que nunca termina.
- del discurso de Marcus Garvey en Nueva Escocia en 1.937.
Gracias, Bob, por transmitirlo en una forma tan bonita...
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.
Bob Marley - Redemption song
