Bra Fie歌词

I made it quite clear
That from now on – today
We must change our attitudes, our minds
We must realise that from now on
We are no more a colonial but a free and independent people
We are prepared to pick it up
And make it a nation that will be respected
By every other nation in the world
Today, from now on, there is a new African in the world!
That new African is ready to fight his own battles
And show that after all,
The black man is capable of managing his own affairs
We are going to demonstrate to the world
That we are going to create our own African personality and identity
Our independence is meaningless
Unless it is linked up
With the total liberation of the African continent
Take the shackles off my feet
Make I go, make I go
It's a battle with the beast
Take your shield, help me go
Kwame Nkrumah takeover
New Africa, makeover
Let's bow our heads and pray oh lord
Our father help us fight the war
Bra fie ooo, bra fie
Bra fie na yɛ twɛn woo
Bra fie ooo, bra fie
Bra fie na yɛ twɛn woo
Oh yes, thank you
I'm a human being in Africa
But a black man in America
African in England
Don't forget where you are from
Ghana down to Suriname
Taken from our motherland
Don't forget your mother tongue
Please don't shoot me, we are one
Bra fie ooo, bra fie
Bra fie na yɛ twɛn woo
Bra fie ooo, bra fie
Bra fie na yɛ twɛn woo
Bra fie ooo, bra fie
Bra fie na yɛ twɛn woo
Bra fie ooo, bra fie
Bra fie na yɛ twɛn woo
Now have a look through history's binoculars
And please don't tell me you've forgotten us
Your last children living anonymous
In a very strange land where dem carried us
And it must be a natural phenomenon
How we still can remember where we're coming from
Even tru the brainwashing curriculum
Up through the ages and milleniums
Last 400 years has been fabulous
We been working as slaves, living ravenous
But to overdo ya stay can be hazardous
Now a time fi go home thanks for having us
Please make a ya promise o promised land
And welcome me home any time I land
And make I feel like I belong with us
Until that day, no giving up
Ghana is free forever
