[Intro: Peter Gabriel]
Muchas gracias

Sometimes when a man is brave enough
To fight for the rights of its people
The cost can be very high
This is a song written for a man
Who was imprisoned, tortured and killed
In a jail in South Africa

Esta canción fue escrita para un hombre con cora- coraje
Molto coraje
Fue torturado y asesinado en una prisión en Sudáfrica
Por los sufrientes de Sudáfrica y por Steven Biko

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

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel and Crowd]
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 to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel and Crowd]
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, Peter Gabriel and Crowd]
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
Watching now

[Outro: Peter Gabriel, Crowd, Peter Gabriel and Crowd]
