War Songtext

von Bob Marley

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext von 'War' von Bob Marley ist eine kraftvolle Verurteilung von Rassismus, Ungleichheit und Ungerechtigkeit. ...

Until the philosophy which holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and Abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there is no longer first class
And second class Citizens of any nation
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes me say war

That until the basic human rights are equally Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day
Last lasting dream of peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be pursued, but never attained
Now everywhere I swar, war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique, South Africa, sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, uttely destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war

War in east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumours of war

And until that day, The African continent
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight
We find it necessary and we know we shall win
As we are confident in the victory

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
