lirik lagu the freedom song – gabriel of sedona and the bright and morning star band

gabriel of sedona
the freedom song
(including ogoni lyrics and translations)
“a tribute to ken saro-wiwa, the people of nigeria, and freedom fighters of
the world.”
throughout the sad history the braveheart stood in the way
of the n-ble lords in pompous dress who had the evil say
counterpoint: ogani (village/tribe)
kuwambé (beautiful music)
and all the families of the meek who seek-to live in love, in peace
cannot keep what belongs to them-the n-bles want their fleece
and those that know the pain and loss from those who rule in sin

must join together hand in hand until all justice wins

and i see the spark of freedom in their eye
and i see the spark of freedom in their eye
yes, i see the hope of freedom in their eye

yes, i see the light of freedom in their eye

jumbé
counterpoint: yeke (freedom)
ken saro-wiwa, ken saro-wiwa, ken saro-wiwa
oh wiwa, oh wiwa
jumbé saro-wiwa

counterpoint: omo oluwa ti ji dide ose
(the son of god rising)
ah – ah – ah – ah – ah
jumbé (chief)
and good men run the gauntlet to try the righteous rule
while others of the lesser code make them out a fool
and those that have the power can wear the whitest robes
while the meek and truly humble can only sing life’s odes
and i see the spark of freedom in their eye
and i see the spark of freedom in their eye
yes, i see the hope of freedom in their eye
yes, i see the light of freedom in their eye
jumbé
ken saro-wiwa, ken saro-wiwa, ken saro-wiwa
oh wiwa, oh wiwa
jumbé saro-wiwa
a thank-you in swahili to ken saro-wiwa:
asante mjomba mungu k-mekucha
asante = thank you
mjomba = messenger
mungu = [of] god
k-mekucha = the son has risen
ken saro-wiwa was a freedom fighter who was executed by the nigerian
government. the term jumbé means “chief” in nigerian.
