Esta quinta-feira completam-se 25 anos da morte do cantor e compositor jamaicano Bob Marley, falecido a 11 de Maio de 1981, com 36 anos, vítima de cancro."
(in Disco Digital)
Com um atraso de um dia, mas vale sempre a pena recordar o homem que, no mundo da música, mais representa um ideal de amor e paz que deveria "contaminar" mais e mais seres humanos. Bob Marley conseguia com a sua voz e uma guitarra acústica (como em Redemption Song) "vingar" todos aqueles que já alguma vez se sentiram injustiçados e sem esperança. Dar-lhes conforto e fazer-lhes saber que o dia de amanhã pode ser bem melhor. Amigo Bob, que Jah esteja contigo!
"Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I from the
Bottom less pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly
All I ever had is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had 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
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 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
Yes some say it's just 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"
