Lyrics Mere afrique Dubmatique

Mere afrique


Sur tes cotes j'ai vu le jour, connu mon premier amour
Autant de souvenirs incrustes a ma peau pour toujours
Comme les discours lointains de Muezzin qui invitant ses freres
A la priere, me reveillait tous les matins
J'eus bien la chance de connaitre cette vie de famille
Une ambiance chaleureuse de toutes parts, sous un soleil qui brille
Je revois, plus d'une fois, nos escapades sur la plage
Ou sable et eau salee jouaient a notre avantage
En nage, j'ecoutais parler les aines
Qui dans leurs contines trouvaient le moyen de nous raisonner
Apres le repas, le the pour bien digerer comme a l'accoutumee
J'ai pense au poste, les heures s'effilochent, proche de moi
Les plus jeunes font la sieste, berces au son des koras
Que ces images etaient belles a contempler
Comme toi Mere Afrique que jamais je n'oublierai
Je n'oublierai jamais que tout a commence la-bas
Pour la premiere foi, etreint entre tes bras mere
Porte au dos devenu vite «ado»
Maintenant importune par les problemes occidentaux
La-bas j'avais appris a recevoir de tes mains pour le donner le
Lendemain
Heureux sous tes yeux Dieu!! j'avais appris a comprendre
Ce qu'etais le respect des Anciens, malheureusement pleures parce
Qu'ils trepasssaient un matin
A l'aube de l'an 2000, c'est seulement maintenant que l'Afrique du
Sud
Se libere de l'Apartheid, j'aime les Blancs, j'aime les Noirs
Mais je n'arrive pas a concevoir qu'on continue a se ruer sur les
Richesses
C'est ton sang qu'on agresse, ce sont des millions de vies que l'on
Oppresse
Lorsque l'individualisme se meut en chacun, le capitalisme est roi et
L'argent fait la loi
Mais pas entre toi et moi
Je te garderai dans mon coeur tant et aussi longtemps
Que mes sens repondront, que dans mes veines coulera ton sang
Non sans mouiller mes yeux au nom de tous mes Freres
Qui souffrirent hier et sous la pression de l'argent s'enterrent
J'ai bien envie de retrouver le terrain deserte ou dans un ballon
Nous allions taper jusqu'a nous epuiser, mais tout a bel et bien
Change
Depuis, les principes se dissipent, la qualite de vie devaluee
Etouffe l'ethique
Si loin sois-tu, je compatis a ta douleur
M'allie a tous tes fils qui comme moi aspirent a des jours meilleurs
Sur une terre ou inegalites disparaitront sous le poids des efforts
Conjugues de toute une nation
Encline non seulement au changement mais aussi consciente de ce qu'il
Faudra
De temps, de sang, d'argent pour qu'une revolution se fasse et
Replace les choses
D'ici la je te dedie ces quelques proses

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
