De qué habla
Un canto de orgullo dedicado a los pueblos oprimidos cuyos dioses, héroes y tierras fueron destruidos. Frente a la esclavitud y la opresión, celebra la resistencia de sus descendientes como el comienzo de una nueva era, e incluye versos en sranan, la lengua criolla de Surinam, el país natal del cantante.
Letra
Skin as rich as a starlit nightYour rhythm is rebellionDeep currents running in the rivers of your eyes
Your rhythm is rebellion
They spat on your crown
And they poisoned your ground
Your rhythm is rebellion
They burned your heroes at the stake
But your voice will echo all their names
This ain't the end, no!
It's the birth of a new age
Yu no man broko mi
Soul blazing like a hurricane
Your rhythm is rebellion
Spirit roaring wild like untamed flames
Your rhythm is rebellion
They buried your gods
They imprisoned your thoughts
Your rhythm is rebellion
They tried to drain you of your faith
But you are the rage that melts the chains
This ain't the end, no!
It's the birth of a new age
We are the fruit
Adorning the legacy
Of every forgotten revolutionary
Born in resilience
Proud like a lion
We are the birth of a new age
Yu no man broko mi
Mi na afu sensi
