Give me hope, Geoana!

La mitingul de ieri al PSD dedicat intrarii la guvernare, a cantat si binecunoscutul cantaret reaggae Eddie Grant. Acesta a interpretat frumoasa melodie "Give me hope, Geoana", ale caror versuri vi le amintim aici:

"Well Geoana he runs a country
He runs in Durban and the Transvaal
He makes a few of his people happy, oh
He don't care about the rest at all
He's got a system they call apartheid
It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure can make Geoana see
How everybody could a live as one

[chorus:]
Gimme hope, Geoana
Hope, Geoana
Gimme hope, Geoana
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Geoana
Hope, Geoana
Hope before the morning come

I hear he make all the golden money
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
While every mother in red Soweto fears
The killing of another son
Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders
Now and again having little fun
He doesn't care if the fun and games he play
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone

[chorus]

He's got supporters in high up places
Who turn their heads to the city sun
Geoana give them the fancy money
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come
He even knows how to swing opinion
In every magazine and the journals
For every bad move that this Geoana makes
They got a good explanation

[chorus]

Even the preacher who works for Jesus
The Archbishop who's a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna know if you're blind Geoana
If you wanna hear the sound of drums
Can't you see that the tide is turning
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come"

Mitingul s-a incheiat intr-o atmosfera de avant muncitoresc.
