Gimme Hope Jo'anna - Eddy Grant














آهنگی از ادی گرنت که در دهه 80 به صورت سرود ضد نژاد پرستی در آفریقای جنوبی تحت ستم خوانده میشد. جوانا؛ در حقیقت اشاره به ژوهانسبورگ داره؛ اشاره ای دو پهلو. آهنگ در انگلستان مورد توجه زیاد قرار گرفت و به رتبه هفتم دست یافت. کلیپ آهنگ رو اینجا میتونید ببینید. و یا اینجا از یوتیوب تماشا کنید.



Well Jo'anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
She don't care about the rest at all
She's got a system they call apartheid

It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see
How everybody could a live as one

(Chorus:)
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come

Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come

I hear she makes all the golden money
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
While every mother in black Soweto fears
The killing of another son

Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders
Now and again having little fun
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone

(Chorus:)
Gimme hope, Jo'anna

Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come

She got supporters in high up places
Who turn their heads to the city sun

Jo'anna give them the fancy money
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come
She even knows how to swing opinion
In every magazine and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes
They got a good explanation


(Chorus:)
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come

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 Jo'anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drum
Can't you see that the tide is turning

Oh don't make me wait till the morning come

(Chorus:)
Do give hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna

Hope before the morning come

Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come

Gary Moore


گری مور درچهارم اپریل سال 1952 در بلفاست ( ایرلند شمالی ) به دنیا اومد و امروز صبح (6 فوریه 2011 ) در هتلی در اسپانیا در سن 58 سالگی از دنیا رفت . گری مور یکی از اسطوره های عصر حاظر در سبک بلوز بود و آثار به یاد ماندنی و ماندگاری رو در عرصه موسیقی از خودش باقی گذاشت . اینجا یکی از کار های اون رو که برای خودم خیلی خاطره انگیزه میزارم ( اجرای زنده از ترانه استیل گات د بلوز ) . یادش گرامی . این هم متن ترانه :

Use to be so easy
To give my heart away
But I found that the haeartache
was the price you have to pay
I found that that love is no friend of mine
I should have know'n time after time

So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Use to be so easy
Fall in love again
But I found that the heartache
It's a roll that leeds to pain
I found that love is more than just a game
Play and to win
but you loose just the same

So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

So many years since I seal you face
You will my heart
there's an emty space
Used to be

(SOLO)

So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Golden days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you
