Category: 向曼德拉致敬 Tribute to Nelson Mandela

在曼德拉服刑期間, 以致獲釋以後, 世界各地均有不少音樂人特地為他創作了不少歌曲。在此我們為大家搜羅有關歌曲, 既是一個回顧, 亦希望能為你帶來新思維。

Many musicians have dedicated songs to M. Mandela both during or after his imprisonment and here we would like to “rekindle” some of these fantastic songs and celebrations as a beautiful memory and inspiration for everyone.

    Lyrics:
    It was 25 years they take that man away
    Now the freedom moves in closer every day
    Wipe the tears down from your saddened eyes
    They say Mandela’s free so step outside
    Oh oh oh oh Mandela day
    Oh oh oh oh Mandela’s free

    It was 25 years ago this very day
    Held behind four walls all through night and day
    Still the children know the story of that man
    And I know what’s going on right through your land

    25 years ago
    Na na na na Mandela day
    Oh oh oh Mandela’s free

    If the tears are flowing wipe them from your face
    I can feel his heartbeat moving deep inside
    It was 25 years they took that man away
    And now the world come down say Nelson Mandela’s free

    Oh oh oh oh Mandela’s free

    The rising suns sets Mandela on his way
    Its been 25 years around this very day
    From the one outside to the ones inside we say
    Oh oh oh oh Mandela’s free
    Oh oh oh set Mandela free

    Na na na na Mandela day
    Na na na na Mandela’s free

    25 years ago
    What’s going on
    And we know what’s going on
    Cos we know what’s going on
