lirik lagu bantunani - stand up (telema)
[verse 1]
all through my life along
i didn’t expect that day would come
just like a little bird on wire
singing this song of freedom
oh dear brother
please sing with me
batu nionso bayoka nzembo
[chorus]
telema telema
telema telema oh
ti tokokoma bamoko
yo na ngai tokanisa maboko
ngai na zongeli, motema ezali kokosa
soki ozangi, na bwake lobi
monoko etia sukali (words that sweeten tomorrow)
[bridge]
oh, sad i was alone in the dark
listening to the world’s atrocity
so far from homies and family
i don’t wanna close my eyes
we rise from ashes, we rise from pain
breaking the chains, wе’ll shine again
oh, let the drums of justicе play
let the sun bring a brand~new day!
[chorus]
telema telema, telema telema oh
ti tokokoma bamoko, yo na ngai tokanisa maboko
telema telema, telema telema oh
ti tokokoma bamoko, yo na ngai tokanisa maboko
~(gradual percussion layering into full instrumentation for the final chorus.)~
[outro : strings ,congas]
nionso ekolonga na bolingo
tozwa nguya na nzoto moko
ye kozala moninga na ngai
pasi ya bolingo ekoma
nakotuna tango ekoya
moto ekotumba mpongi ya pasi
~(strings and congas build gradually here for emotional crescendo.)~
[dancing chorus with percussion drive]
telema telema, telema telema oh
ti tokokoma bamoko, yo na ngai tokanisa maboko
oh stand up, stand up brother
oh stand up, stand up now
[bridge 2: with strings]~(strings~led, layered with vocal harmonies)~
we rise from ashes, we rise from pain
breaking the chains, we’ll shine again
oh, let the drums of justice play
let the sun bring a brand~new day!
~(orchestral strings: slow build crescendos with violin swells, adding a cinematic feel.)~
[dancing cumbia final universal chorus – english]
from africa, from asia
from america, wherever you are
stand up, stand up, together we rise!
for freedom, for justice
for the love we’ve been dreaming of
stand up, stand up, and reach for the skies!
(adlibs: “rise up! stand tall!”)
[chorus acapella – transition to fade out]
telema telema, telema telema oh
ti tokokoma bamoko, yo na ngai tokanisa maboko
~(drums fade out gradually as soft harmonies echo “telema, telema” in the background.)~
dont let the hope brother, (non,non)
dont forget the love we built
[dancing outro chorus]~(cumbia rumba solo)~
from africa, from asia
from america, wherever you are
stand up, stand up, together we rise!
for freedom, for justice
for the love we’ve been dreaming of
stand up, stand up, and reach for the skies!
(adlibs: “rise up! stand tall!”)
[chorus acapella – transition to fade out]
telema telema, telema telema oh
ti tokokoma bamoko, yo na ngai tokanisa maboko
~(drums fade out gradually as soft harmonies echo “telema, telema” in the background.)~
dont let the hope brother, (non,non)
dont forget the love we built
