Freedom fighter standing on a mountain
In a foreign country
Trying to send a message
To his people, back in the ghetto
He had a home one time
Love of a girl
But he left that behind
Oh yes I can hear him clearly as he whispers in the air
His voice came out loud and clear
All he asked for was a prayer and as he turns to walk away he said
Chorus:
I'm still here in the house of exile
For the love of the nation
Sun went down on the mountain
Birds flew back to their hiding places
Leaving him standing there like a telephone pole
In the still of the night
You and I dream
Dreaming of Romeo
Lucky Philip Dube (1964-2007), noto semplicemente come Lucky Dube, è stato un leggendario cantante e musicista sudafricano di fama internazionale. Nato in una famiglia povera nella provincia del KwaZulu-Natal, Dube iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '80 con il genere reggae, mescolando temi sociali e politici con melodie ritmate e coinvolgenti. La sua musica divenne un potente strumento per denunciare l'apartheid e promuovere la pace e la giustizia sociale in Sudafrica. Dube ha pubblicato oltre 20 album durante la sua carriera, vendendo milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Slave", "Prisoner", "Remember", e "Taxman". La sua musica ha superato i confini nazionali, raggiungendo un pubblico internazionale e contribuendo a diffondere la cultura reggae su scala globale. Purtroppo, Dube è stato assassinato nel 2007 durante un tentativo di rapina, lasciando un vuoto incolmabile nella scena musicale africana. La sua eredità continua ad ispirare generazioni di musicisti e attivisti per la giustizia sociale.
