Redemption Song
Cultura Profética Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
These 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
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Woh, have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
The lyrics to Cultura Profética's cover of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" discuss themes of slavery, oppression, and the struggle for liberation. The first verse describes the experience of being sold into slavery by "old pirates," which likely refers to European colonial powers. The singer acknowledges that the experience has made them stronger, and they call on future generations to continue the fight for freedom.
The second verse encourages listeners to "emancipate yourselves from mental slavery," emphasizing that true liberation must come from within. The reference to "atomic energy" suggests that even modern technological advancements cannot fully suppress the human desire for freedom. The final lines ask how long prophets will be silenced and oppressed people will remain passive before calling on listeners to help sing songs of freedom and continue the work of those who came before.
Overall, Cultura Profética's version of "Redemption Song" is a call to action for its listeners to continue fighting for their own liberation and to work towards a more just and equal society.

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
I was robbed by old pirates
Sold I to the merchant ships
I was sold to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
I was taken just a few minutes later
From the bottomless pit
I was taken from a deep, dark place
But my hand was made strong
Despite everything, I gained strength
By the hand of the almighty
Through divine intervention
We forward in this generation
We continue on in this new age
Triumphantly
With great victory
Won't you help to sing
Will you please join me in song
These songs of freedom?
Songs that represent our freedom
'Cause all I ever have
Because all that I have ever had
Redemption songs
Are songs of redemption
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
Free your mind from mental oppression
None but ourselves can free our minds
We are the only ones who can truly free ourselves
Have no fear for atomic energy
Don't be afraid of nuclear power
'Cause none of them can stop the time
It's impossible to stop time
How long shall they kill our prophets
For how long will they keep killing the people who speak truth
While we stand aside and look? Ooh
As we just watch, helpless
Some say it's just a part of it
Some believe it's just the way things are
We've got to fullfil the book
We must fulfill our destiny
These songs of freedom
These songs represent our freedom
Songs of freedom
Songs that represent our freedom

Siempre me emociona esta canción... que no es una canción, es un himno a la libertad y por ende al amor. Cultura para mi es eso. Ellos han podido ir más allá del reggae. Han demostrado q pueden hacer lo que quieran y llegar a darnos cultura y amor. GRACIAS.
