Peter Gabriel ----- Biko

Bantu Stephen Biko 是反對南非種族隔離政策黑人覺醒運動組織領導人, 亦是1977 年 9 月 12 日, 在國家安全法酷刑下遭凌虐致死的第 46 位受害者, 他的死亡使得殘酷的南非安全法以及南非黑人普遍的困境受到國際社會高度的重視和關注。Peter Gabriel 在他第三張個人大碟 III - ( Melt ) 中寫下了以他名字為名的歌曲, 成為了 Gabriel 其中一首代表性經典, 往後樂隊 Simple Mind 亦有在 Street Fighting Years 大碟內重新演繹, 在 1988 年倫敦Wembley Stadium 的 Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday 致敬音樂會中, 兩個單位聯同一起演唱了這首歌, 成為整埸萬人空巷演唱會的其中一個焦點。

[Intro: Crowd]
Ngomhla sibuyayo
Ngomhla sibuyayo
Ngomhla sibuyayo, kophalal'igazi!
Ngomhla sibuyayo
Ngomhla sibuyayo
Ngomhla sibuyayo, kophalal'igazi!
Bakhala uVorster!
Bakhala uVorster!
Ngomhla sibuyayo, kophalal'igazi!
Ngomhla sibuyayo
Ngomhla sibuyayo
Ngomhla sibuyayo, kophalal'igazi!

[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla moja, yihla moja
The man is dead
The man is dead

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
When I try and sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla moja, yihla moja
The man is dead
The man is dead

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Peter Gabriel]
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla moja, yihla moja
The man is dead
The man is dead

[Post-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
And the eyes of the world are
Watching now, watching now

[Interlude]
