| I woke up this morning, Tears were in my bed
| Me desperté esta mañana, las lágrimas estaban en mi cama
|
| They killed a man I really loved, Shot him in the head
| Mataron a un hombre que realmente amaba, le dispararon en la cabeza
|
| Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down
| Señor, Señor, cortaron a George Jackson
|
| Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground
| Señor, Señor, lo enterraron
|
| They sent him off to prison, For a seventy dollar robbery
| Lo mandaron a prisión, Por un robo de setenta dólares
|
| They closed the door behind him, And threw away the key
| Cerraron la puerta detrás de él, Y tiraron la llave
|
| He didn’t take shit from no one, He wouldn’t bow down on his knee
| No aceptó una mierda de nadie, no se inclinó sobre sus rodillas
|
| Authorities they hate him, Because he was just too real, just too real
| Las autoridades lo odian, porque era demasiado real, demasiado real
|
| The prison guard they watched him, They crushed him like a bug
| El guardia de la prisión lo vigilaron, lo aplastaron como a un bicho
|
| Frightened of his power, They we scared of all his love and hey hey!
| Asustados de su poder, Ellos nos asustaron de todo su amor y ¡oye, oye!
|
| Sometimes I think the whole wide world
| A veces pienso que todo el mundo
|
| Is one big prison yard
| es un gran patio de prisión
|
| Where some of us are prisoners and
| Donde algunos de nosotros somos prisioneros y
|
| Some of us are guards. | Algunos de nosotros somos guardias. |
| Yeah Hey!
| ¡Oye!
|
| They laid him in the ground
| Lo acostaron en el suelo
|
| They laid him in the ground
| Lo acostaron en el suelo
|
| They laid him in the ground
| Lo acostaron en el suelo
|
| Woe Jackson, George Jackson, Yes Jackson, Woe Jackson
| Ay Jackson, George Jackson, Sí Jackson, Ay Jackson
|
| I want to confess, There is no justice
| Quiero confesarte, no hay justicia
|
| Lift up your voices, In times of protest
| Alzad vuestras voces, en tiempos de protesta
|
| Lordy lord they laid him in the ground
| Lordy Lord lo pusieron en el suelo
|
| Woe Jackson George Jackson, Oh Jackson Want Justice
| ¡Ay de Jackson, George Jackson, Oh, Jackson quiere justicia!
|
| A voice of protest, And frustration
| Una voz de protesta y frustración
|
| Within a system, Of deception
| Dentro de un sistema, De engaño
|
| Lordy Lord Hey! | Señor Señor ¡Oye! |
| Lordy lord Hey. | señor señor hey. |
| yeahee! | ¡sí! |
