Rise Up
Jah Gaïa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rise up, people rise up.
Yes, we gonna rise up, man rise up.
I and I will rise again.
Come on, come on, come to get up stand up my friends.

Humilié sans le moindre respect,
On prend le peuple pour une vache a lait.
Que l'on caresse dans le sens du poil,
Mais l'être humain n'est pas un animal.
Gardez vos bla bla, vos mensonges au parlement,
Le peule ne veut pas de sentiment.
Le gong va bientôt retentir,
Nouveau départ, nouvel avenir.

Sur l'or et le diamant, s'endorment toujours chefs d'états et patrons.
Sans craindre la moindre peine ni châtiment.
Persistent et signent en serrant le noeud coulant.
Alors que terre mére s'affaiblit, sonne l'alarme nous donne tant de signes.
I and I fighting.
Les nations s'entrechoquent, bombent le torse et toujours se développent.
We know tne suffering soldiers.
But I and I praise et regarde à l'horizon.
I and I rise again.
But I and I rise up et regarde droit devant.

Rise up, rise up.
Let's we gonna riseup, rise up.
I and I will rise up.
I and I wil rise again.
Come on, come on, come on to get up stand up my friends.

Des contrées désertiques aux villes miniéres.
De Dakar à Sainté tous unis dans le même sens.
Douleurs sans fin, bonheurs éphémeres.
Les jours de chagrin comme les jours de délivrance.
De veines idées aux longues priéres.
Un combat continue, une exigence inébranlable.
Tous ces regards différents tournées vers l'atmosphére.
Rise up everyday.
Liberté, égalité, dans les mots comme dans les faits.
Mais c'est un monde perdu pour des hommes perdus.
But I and I praise et regarde à l'horizon.
But I and I rise up et regarde droit devant.

Rise up, rise up.
Yes we gonna rise up, man rise up.
I and I will rise again.
Come on, come on, come on to get up stand up, get up stand up, get up stand up.
Get up stand up.
People we gonna rise up.
But I and I praise regarde à l'horizon.
Get up stand up.




People we gonna rise up, we gonna rise up.
People we gonna rise up.
