lirik lagu peter gabriel - biko (live) [buenos aires 1988]
[intro: peter gabriel]
muchas gracias
sometimes when a man is brave enough
to fight for the rights of its people
the cost can be very high
this is a song written for a man
who was imprisoned, tortured and k!lled
in a jail in south africa
esta canción fue escrita para un hombre con cora~ coraje
molto coraje
fue torturado y asesinado en una prisión en sudáfrica
por los sufrientes de sudáfrica y por steven biko
[verse 1: peter gabriel]
september ’77
port elizabeth weather fine
it was business as usual
in police room 619
[chorus: peter gabriel, peter gabriel and crowd]
oh biko, biko, because biko
oh biko, biko, because biko
yihla moja, yihla moja
the man is dead
the man is dead

[verse 2: peter gabriel]
when i try and sleep at night
i can only dream in red
the outside world is black and white
with only one colour dead

oh biko, biko, because biko
oh biko, biko, because biko
yihla moja, yihla moja
the man is dead
the man is dead

[verse 3: peter gabriel]
you can blow out a candle
but you can’t blow out a fire
once the flames begin to catch
the wind will blow it higher

oh biko, biko, because biko
yihla moja, yihla moja

watching now
