Almamegretta Black Athena Lyrics

Sienteme bbuono chiammame cu' o nomme mio nun tengo ggenio 'e pazzia'
se pazzea cu'a panza chiena 'a mia è vacanta 'a verità
tu me hai purta' rispetto si me vide
tenimmo 'e stessi nonni nun me cride?
chi songo?
i' songo l'ommo niro ca vene 'a dint' 'a jungla
songo 'o figlio 'e lumumba
si nun me saje piglia' songo 'na bomba
e si nun saje ca è 'a casa mia ca è accumminciata 'a storia
rinfriscate 'a memoria

original man you got to understand that we are all africans
yes the knowledge of myself makes me a better self
so pick that dusty book up off the shelf and just
read the truth read the truth
science was created in timbuctu
center of the world is africa
the rythm of the drum comes from africa

look back look back
athena was black
look back look back
athena was black
athena was black if you look back
ma te hai visto bbuono int' 'o specchio ma te hai maje guardato 'nfaccia

look back look back
athena was black
look back look back
athena was black
athena was black if you look back
ma te hai visto bbuono dint' 'o specchio 'e che culore tiene 'a faccia

realise, visualize, open your eyes
truth and lies we will despise, oppressed must rise.

ht nt neit tanit tanussit athena
te 'o sto dicenno mo si nun ce hai maje penzato primma
'o munno è tunno e 'a quanno è tunno gira 'a gente
mo' sienteme bbuono tiene mente
te pare ca nun stevo bbuono 'a casa mia
a te pare bella chesta vita mia
se sape ca chi piglia sempe po' adda da'
pe' te è 'o mumento 'e spartere pe' mme chillo 'e piglia'

look back look back
athena was black
look back look back
athena was black
athena was black if you look back
ma te hai visto bbuono int' 'o specchio ma te hai maje guardato 'nfaccia

look back look back
athena was black
look back look back
athena was black
athena was black if you look back
ma te hai visto bbuono dint' 'o specchio 'e che culore tiene 'a faccia

look back look back
athena was black
look back look back
athena was black
athena was black if you look back
ma te hai visto bbuono int' 'o specchio ma te hai maje guardato 'nfaccia

look back look back

athena was black if you look back
uh, guardate int' 'o specchio senza troppo sguorn' 'n faccia.

look back look back
