Tiken Jah Fakoly - Délivrance

Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe
Où va l'humanité ?
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe mon dieu
Le monde est décevant
J'ai protesté contre le racisme, le tribalisme
Ca n'a rien changé
J'ai crié contre les conflits, la répression et l'oppression
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe ces affameurs du peuple
Qu'ils sont têtus
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe c'est pourquoi
Tout est foutu
Dans ce monde où le système a rendu le pauvre impuissant et muet
Oui partout dans ce monde, la loi décidée par les hors la loi
Ce monde de capital où la moralité n'est plus capitale
J'ai le sentiment de prêcher nuit et jour dans un désert
J'ai boycotté, on a marché, on a dénoncé
Ca n'a rien changé
Nous étions optimistes, on a rêvé, on a espéré
Mais rien n'a changé
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe
Où va l'humanité ? je suis fatigué
Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe
Oh mon dieu, je suis fatigué
Au secours, au secours, au secours
Au secours, au secours, au secours
Au secours mon dieu, délivrance mon dieu
Je suis fatigué, oh mon dieu
Délivre tes enfants des mains de babylone
Je suis fatigué, je suis fatigué

Aye aye aye aye aye
Where is humanity going?
Aye aye aye aye aye my lord
The world is disappointing
I protested against racism, tribalism
It didn't change anything
I cried out against strife, repression and oppression
Aye aye aye aye aye those starving people
That they are stubborn
Aye aye aye aye aye that's why
Everything is screwed up
In this world where the system has made the poor helpless and dumb
Yes everywhere in this world, the law decided by the outlaws
This world of capital where morality is no longer capital
I feel like I'm preaching night and day in a desert
I boycotted, we walked, we denounced
It didn't change anything
We were optimists, we dreamed, we hoped
But nothing has changed
Aye aye aye aye aye
Where is humanity going? I am fatigue
Aye aye aye aye aye
Oh my lord, i'm fatigue
Help, help, help
Help, help, help
Help my lord, deliverance my lord
I'm fatigue, oh my lord
Deliver your children from the hands of Babylon
I am fatigue, I am fatigue

Tiken Jah Fakoly is an African reggae singer and songwriter. Concerned by the social and political evolution of his country, it was not long before Tiken Jah was writing incisive works on the political environment in Côte d'Ivoire. One such work was on the death of Félix Houphouët-Boigny in 1993, which resulted in a surge of popularity amongst the nation's youth. In 1998, Fakoly made his first international appearance in Paris. Tiken Jah Fakoly plays music "to wake up the consciences". His music speaks about the many injustices done to the people of his country and Africans in general, as well as inciting calls for pan-Africanism and an African economic, political and cultural resurgence. As such, many African listeners feel a deep affinity with his lyrics as Fakoly speaks for oppressed people. This connection has helped make Tiken Jah Fakoly a much-listened artist throughout the world. Since the rise in political instability and xenophobia in Côte d'Ivoire and after receiving death threats due to his lyrics, Fakoly has lived in exile in Bamako, Mali since 2003. In December 2007, Fakoly was declared persona non grata in Senegal after criticizing President Abdoulaye Wade. In 2009 Tiken Jah launched a campaign entitled "Un concert une école", or One Concert, One School. Through the campaign, and in collaboration with institutions and associations, he was able to finance the construction of a school in the village of Touroni, and a college in Dianké, Mali. He held concerts in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea, accompanied by a vast communication campaign promoting education.
