Historia Verdadera

Jimmy Cliff

True Story

We gave you history,
But what about the true story
Hiding your heritage
To keep you into bondage
They stole your culutre
To say you got no future
Destroyed your tradition
To keep you into subjection
And thats the true story

They took the natural living
And gave you articificail living
They took the social living
And turned it into socialism
They took the commune living
And turned in into communisum
They took the capital living
And turned it into capitialism
And thats the true story

My ancestors were kings of old
Half the stories have not been told
They were mighty men and women
My children will be like them
We are the seed of abraham
Descneded from adam
We are the true born israleites
The true born ishmaelites
And thats the true story

Don't you lie
Don't want your hizzim shcism
Your just for the system
Don't want your fo Lucifer
You call it your philosiphy
Don't want your lies buried
You call it your library
We want the true story

Historia Verdadera

Te dimos historia,
Pero ¿qué hay de la historia verdadera?
Ocultando tu herencia
Para mantenerte en esclavitud
Robaron tu cultura
Para decir que no tienes futuro
Destruyeron tus tradiciones
Para mantenerte en sumisión
Y esa es la historia verdadera

Tomaron la vida natural
Y te dieron una vida artificial
Tomaron la vida social
Y la convirtieron en socialismo
Tomaron la vida comunal
Y la convirtieron en comunismo
Tomaron la vida capitalista
Y la convirtieron en capitalismo
Y esa es la historia verdadera

Mis ancestros eran reyes de antaño
La mitad de las historias no han sido contadas
Eran hombres y mujeres poderosos
Mis hijos serán como ellos
Somos la semilla de Abraham
Descendientes de Adán
Somos los verdaderos israelitas nacidos
Los verdaderos ismaelitas nacidos
Y esa es la historia verdadera

No mientas
No queremos tu esquizofrenia
Solo estás para el sistema
No queremos tu Lucifer
Lo llamas tu filosofía
No queremos tus mentiras enterradas
Lo llamas tu biblioteca
Queremos la historia verdadera
