Bob Marley: Redemption song (VIDEO)

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.

Stari pirati su me opljačkali;
Prodali me brodovima što prevoze roblje,
Minutu nakon što su me uzeli
Iz rupe bez kraja.
Ali moja ruka je napravljenja jakom
Od ruke Svevišnjeg.

Mi predvodimo ovu generaciju
Trijumfalno.
Zar nam nećeš pomoći da zapjevamo
Ove pjesme slobode
Jer sve sto imam su:
Pjesme koje iskupljuju

Emancipirajte se od mentalnog ropstva;
Niko osim nas ne može osloboditi našu svijest.
Nemamo strah od atomske energije,
Jer niko od njih ne moze zaustaviti vrijeme.

Koliko dugo će ubijati naše mesije,
dok mi stojimo sa strane i gledamo.
Neki kažu da je to samo dio svega:
Moramo ispuniti knjigu do kraja.

Zar nam nećeš pomoći da zapjevamo
Ove pjesme slobode
Jer sve što imam su:
Pjesme koje iskupljuju
