K’naan – Wavin’ Flag

Give me freedom
Give me fire
Give me reasons
Take me higher

See the champions, take the field now
You define us
Make us feel proud

Singing forever young
Singing songs underneath that sun
Lets rejoice in the beautiful games
And together at the end of the day we all say

When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag

When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, oh

Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
A violent prone, poor people zone
But it’s my home, all I have known
Where I got grown, streets we would roam

Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat

So we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering when we’ll be free
So we patiently wait for that fateful day
It’s not far away, but for now we say

When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, oh

So many wars, settling scores
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
I heard them say ‘love is the way’
‘Love is the answer,’ that’s what they say

But look how they treat us, make us believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Try to control us, they couldn’t hold us
Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers

But we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering, when we’ll be free
So we patiently wait for that faithful day
It’s not far away but for now we say

When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes

When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes
And then it goes

And everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it

When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes
And then it goes back, oh

When I get older, when I get older
I will be stronger just like a wavin’ flag
Just like a wavin’ flag, just like a wavin’ flag
Flag, flag, just like a wavin’ flag

Prevod pesme

Zastava što se vijori

Daj mi slobodu
Daj mi vatru
Daj mi razloge
Odvedi me dalje

Vidi šampione, osvajaju teren
Vi nas definišete
Ponosnim nas učinite

Pevajmo zauvek mladi
Pevajmo pesme pod tim suncem
Hajde da se radujemo tim divnim igrama
I, zajedno, na kraju, svi kažemo

Kad budem stariji biću jači
Biću Sloboda, baš kao zastava što se vijori

Kad budem stariji biću jači
Biću Sloboda, baš kao zastava što se vijori
I onda ide nazad, i onda ide nazad
I onda ide nazad, oh

Rođen na dvoru, jačem od Rima
Nasilju sklonom, siromašna zona
Ali ovo je moj dom, sve što znam
Tu odrastao sam, ulicama lutao sam

Iz tog mraka, dospeo sam najdalje
Opstao među najjačima
Učio od ovih ulica, to zna biti bedara
Ne priznajem poraz, predaju, povlačenje

I tako se mi borimo, tučemo za hranu
I pitamo se kad imaćemo slobodu
I tako taj sudbonosni dan strpljivo čekamo
Nije daleko, ali zasad kažemo

Kad budem stariji biću jači
Biću Sloboda, baš kao zastava što se vijori
I onda ide nazad, i onda ide nazad
I onda ide nazad, oh

Toliko ratova, starih dugova
Daju nam obećanja, ostavljaju siromašnima
Čuo sam da kažu ‘ljubav je pravi način’
‘Ljubav je odgovor,’ to oni kažu

Ali vidi kako nas tretiraju, od nas prave vernike
Mi bijemo njihove bitke, a onda nas prevare
Pokušavaju da nas kontrolišu, ne mogu nas obuzdati
Jer mi samo idemo napred kao “bivolski ratnici

I tako se mi borimo, tučemo za hranu
I pitamo se kad imaćemo slobodu
I tako taj sudbonosni dan strpljivo čekamo
Nije daleko, ali zasad kažemo

Kad budem stariji biću jači
Biću Sloboda, baš kao zastava što se vijori
I onda ide nazad, i onda ide nazad
I onda ide nazad, i onda ide

Kad budem stariji biću jači
Biću Sloboda, baš kao zastava što se vijori
I onda ide nazad, i onda ide nazad
I onda ide nazad

I svi će to pevati
I ti i ja, mi ćemo to pevati
I svi mi isto ćemo pevati

Kad budem stariji biću jači
Biću Sloboda, baš kao zastava što se vijori
I onda ide nazad, i onda ide nazad
I onda ide nazad, oh

Kad budem stariji, kad budem stariji
Biću jači, baš kao zastava što se vijori
baš kao zastava što se vijori, baš kao zastava što se vijori
Zastava, zastava, baš kao zastava što se vijori
