ALKEBU - LAN / A STOLEN LEGACY! - AFRICA UMA HERANÇA ROUBADA!



"Mpaka simba huwa na hadithi zao, hadithi za uwindaji zitamtukuza kila siku wawindaji." - Mithali ya Afrika (língua suaíle)
“Até que os leões tenham suas estórias, os contos de caça glorificarão sempre o caçador.” Provérbio africano

"Until the lions have their stories, the tales of hunting will glorify always the hunter." - African proverb



ALKEBU - LAN (NOME ORIGINAL DA ÁFRICA)




"FILOSOFIA GREGA É FILOSOFIA EGÍPCIA ROUBADA"


ÁFRICA - UMA HISTÓRIA NEGADA


HERANÇA ROUBADA - RAINHA DA NÚBIA


COLONIZAÇÃO



GILGAMESH O REI


HATSHEPSUT (RAINHA - FARAÓ DO ANTIGO KEMET)




 

TIMBUKTU - ATUAL MALI






O CONTRASTE - POMPA VERSUS PENÚRIA!













“Quando as pessoas falam, como ainda algumas vezes o fazem, sobre a África do sul do Saara como um continente sem história, o que eles realmente dizem é que essa porção da África tem uma história da que nós, os ocidentais, somos deploravelmente ignorantes…”
(Thomas Hodgkins, historiador britânico)

"Until the lions have their stories, the tales of hunting will glorify always the hunter." - African proverb



Então Yaa Asantewaa Rainha - Mãe de Ejisu (1850-1921) levantou-se e falou:
“Agora eu vejo que alguns de vocês temem ir adiante, para lutar pelo nosso rei. E se fosse nos dias heroicos de Osei Tutu, Okomfo Anokye e Opoku Ware, que foram chefes e não se sentariam, para ver o seu rei ser levado para longe, sem disparar uma bala, nenhum homem branco temeu falar para o líder dos Ashantis do jeito que o governador falou para o chefe de vocês hoje, de manhã. É verdade que a bravura dos Ashantis acabou? Eu não posso acreditar. Isto não pode ser. Eu tenho que falar isto: Se você é um homem Ashanti e não for adiante, então nós iremos. Nós as mulheres iremos. Eu chamarei as minhas companheiras.

Africa must wake up!
(Nas feat Damian Marley)


[Hook: Damian Marley] (x2)
Africa must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring, may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings, can you tell me young ones
Who are we today? yeah, now


[Verse 1: Nas, Damian Marley]
The black oasis, Ancient Africa the sacred
Awaking, the sleeping giant, science, art is your creation
I dreamed that we could visit old Kemet
Your history is too complex and rigid for some Western critics
They want the whole subject diminished
But Africa's the origin of all the world's religions
We praise bridges that carried us over
The battle fronts of Sudanic soldiers
The task put before us, do you hear me now?

[Hook: Damian Marley]
Africa must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring, may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings, can you tell me young ones
Who are we today? yeah, now

Africa must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring, may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings, can you tell me young ones
Who are we today?


[Verse 2: Nas]
Who are we today? The slums, diseases, AIDS
We need that all to fade, we cannot be afraid

So who are we today?
We are the morning after, the makeshift youth

The slave ship captured, our diaspora is the final chapter
The ancestral lineage built pyramids
America's first immigrants
The kings, sons and daughters from Nile waters

The first architect, the first philosophers
Astronomers, the first prophets and the doctors were us, us


[Bridge: Damian Marley]
Now can we all pray?
Each in his own way

Teaching and learning
We can work it out

We'll have a warm bed
We'll have some warm bread
Shelter from the storm dread

And we can work it out
Mother nature feeds all
In famine and drought
Tell those selfish in ways, not to share us out

What's a tree without root?
Lion without tooth?
A lie without truth?

You hear me out!

[Chorus: Damian Marley]
Africa must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring, may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings, can you tell me young ones
Who are we today? yeah, Lord

Africa must wake up the sleeping sons of Jacob
What tomorrow may bring. may some more love come
Yesterday we were kings, I tell ya young bloods
The world is yours today...]

[Bridge: K'naan x2] (x2)
Dadyahow daali waayey, nabada diideen
Oo ninkii doortay dinta, waadinka dillee
Oo dal markii ladhiso, waadinka dunshee
Oo daacad ninkii damcay, waadinka dooxee
[Translation]
Oh ye people restless in the refusal of peace

And when a man chooses religion, aren't you the ones to kill him?
And when a country is built, aren't you the one's to tear it down?
And when one attempts to tell the truth, aren't you the one's to cut him down?

[Guitar/Instrumental break]

[Break: Nas]
We want to thank y'all, everybody out there
This is Nas, Damian Marley
Distant Relatives
We're all distant relatives, no matter where you from, where you live
How near or far
Africa, China, Japan, Afghanistan, Israel
We're all fam, we're all distant relatives

So that's why we came together -- one of the reasons
Why myself and Damian came together

Cause we all come from one place, and that's Africa
That's right, you too. And you
The whole world!
We're all family, we're just spread out all over the place
So to all my distant relatives, let's take it back home!


[Hook: Damian Marley]
I say! Africa must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring, may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings, can you tell me young ones
Who are we today? yeah, now

Africa must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring, may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings, can you tell me young ones
Who are we today? Who are we today?


[Damian Marley]
Morning to ya! Morning to ya man!
Morning to ya love!
