《Gimme Hope Jo’anna》歌词

[00:00:00] Gimme Hope Jo'anna (给我希望 约翰娜) - Eddy Grant

[00:00:15] Well Jo'anna she runs a country

[00:00:19] She runs in Durban and the Transvaal

[00:00:22] She makes a few of her people happy oh

[00:00:26] She don't care about the rest at all

[00:00:30] She's got a system they call apartheid

[00:00:34] It keeps a brother in a subjection

[00:00:37] But maybe pressure can make Jo'anna see

[00:00:41] How everybody could a live as one

[00:00:45] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:00:48] Hope Jo'anna

[00:00:49] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:00:51] 'Fore the morning come

[00:00:52] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:00:55] Hope Jo'anna

[00:00:56] Hope before the morning come

[00:01:00] I hear she make all the golden money

[00:01:03] To buy new weapons any shape of guns

[00:01:07] While every mother in black Soweto fears

[00:01:11] The killing of another son

[00:01:15] Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders

[00:01:18] Now and again having little fun

[00:01:22] She doesn't care if the fun and games she play

[00:01:26] Is dang'rous to ev'ryone

[00:01:30] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:01:32] Hope Jo'anna

[00:01:33] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:01:35] 'Fore the morning come

[00:01:37] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:01:40] Hope Jo'anna

[00:01:41] Hope before the morning come

[00:01:59] She's got supporters in high up places

[00:02:03] Who turn their heads to the city sun

[00:02:07] Jo'anna give them the fancy money

[00:02:10] Oh to tempt anyone who'd come

[00:02:14] She even knows how to swing opinion

[00:02:18] In every magazine and the journals

[00:02:22] For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes

[00:02:26] They got a good explanation

[00:02:30] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:02:32] Hope Jo'anna

[00:02:33] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:02:35] 'Fore the morning come

[00:02:37] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:02:39] Hope Jo'anna

[00:02:41] Hope before the morning come

[00:02:44] Even the preacher who works for Jesus

[00:02:48] The Archbishop who's a peaceful man

[00:02:52] Together say that the freedom fighters

[00:02:55] Will overcome the very strong

[00:02:59] I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna

[00:03:03] If you wanna hear the sound of drums

[00:03:06] Can't you see that the tide is turning

[00:03:10] Oh don't make me wait till the morning come

[00:03:14] Gimme hope Jo'anna

[00:03:17] Hope Jo'anna
