Redemtion Song

Gara-gara waktu nongkrong di deket museum fatahilah denger Redemtion Song nya Marley yang di cover ama cewek, mengalun dari radionya tukang teh botol. Jadi penasaran pengen denger lagi. Ternyata Rihanna yang bawain, dan itu lagu buat misi sosial kayaknya. Keren sih liriknya...

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.

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,

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.

Sambil cari lagu ini, iseng cari2 lagu lama, nemuin " Yang Menangis" punya Edo Kondologit. Merinding gw denger lagu ini, musiknya dari Erwin Gutawa dan penjiwaan Edo yang bikin lagu ini demikian kuat, didukung lirik yang kuat juga.
Beda banget ama lagu-lagu jaman sekarang.
