Rise & Shine

El nombre de la entrada es a propósito de la canción que quiero mostrar, Rise & Shine, de Bunny Wailer. Una de sus canciones más conocidas, algo normal teniendo en cuenta el calibre del tema. Sólo decir que, personalmente, tiene una de las letras más potentes que he oído. Cuelgo la canción seguida de la letra. Relájate y disfruta.

We've been down in the valley much too long.
We've been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in captivity much too long.
We've been down in humility oh so long.

So rise and shine,
and win our liberation.
For now is the time,
when all nations must be free.
So rise and shine,
restore your strength and power.
Waste no more time,
remember your history.

We've been down in a sufferation much too long.
We've been down in humiliation oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in a condemnation much too long.
We've been down in a segregation oh so long.

So rise and shine,
as the morning sun that surrounds you.
It's international morality time,
where mankind must be born anew.
So rise and shine,
for the sake of the younger generations,.
Putting hearts and minds,
to brotherhood and unity.

We've been down in the valley much too long.
We've been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in captivity much too long.
We've been down in humility oh so long.
We've been down in a sufferation much too long.
We've been down in a tribulation oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in a condemnation much too long.
And we've been down in a segregation oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in the valley much too long.
We've been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah.
We've been down in captivity much too long. 

También me gustaría mostrar una versión homenaje producida por Moa Anbessa y cantada por Dieguito, uno de mis temas favoritos desde que lo escuché. Por desgracia, es una dubplate que solo posee el gran Aba Shanti I y los propios Moa Anbessa. Así que si quieres escucharla en directo, tendras que ir a verles a una de sus sesiones. Ahí va.
