《Fatima》歌词

[00:00:00] Fatima (法蒂玛) - K'naan (克南)

[00:00:10] Picture the morning taste and devour

[00:00:12] We rise early pace up the hour

[00:00:15] Streets is bustling hustling their heart out

[00:00:18] You can't have the sweet with no sour

[00:00:20] Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower

[00:00:22] She came out precisely the hour

[00:00:25] Clouds disappear the sun shows the power

[00:00:27] No chance of a probable shower

[00:00:30] I fell in love with my neighbors daughter

[00:00:32] I wanted to protect and support her

[00:00:35] Never mind I'm just 12 and a quarter

[00:00:37] I had dreams beyond our border

[00:00:40] Is it true when they say all you need is just love

[00:00:44] Is it true

[00:00:45] What about those who have loved

[00:00:48] Only to find that it's taken away

[00:00:50] And why do they say that the children have rights to be free

[00:00:54] To be free

[00:00:55] What about those who I've known

[00:00:57] Whose memory still lives inside of me

[00:01:00] Fatima

[00:01:01] What did the young man say

[00:01:04] Before he stole you away

[00:01:06] On that fateful day Fatima

[00:01:10] Fatima

[00:01:12] Did he know your name

[00:01:14] Or the plans we made

[00:01:16] To go to New York city Fatima

[00:01:20] And after school we studied the lessons

[00:01:23] I ask god to slow down the seconds

[00:01:25] He does the opposite that's what I'm guessing

[00:01:28] I better chill and count my own blessings

[00:01:30] Fatima Fatima what is the matter

[00:01:33] How come you ain't come up the ladder

[00:01:35] So we can be like there's no tomorrow

[00:01:38] Damn you gonna make me wait until tomorrow

[00:01:40] She spoke Arabic and swahili

[00:01:43] She'd say Upendo until Swahili

[00:01:45] You so bright you shine like my TV

[00:01:48] Then one day she never came to meet me

[00:01:50] Is it true when they say all you need is just love

[00:01:54] Is it true

[00:01:55] What about those who have loved

[00:01:58] Only to find that it's taken away

[00:02:00] And why do they say that the children have rights to be free

[00:02:04] To be free

[00:02:05] What about those who I've known

[00:02:08] Whose memory still lives inside of me

[00:02:10] Fatima

[00:02:12] What did the young man say

[00:02:14] Before he stole you away

[00:02:16] On that fateful day Fatima

[00:02:20] Fatima

[00:02:22] Did he know your name

[00:02:24] Or the plans we made

[00:02:27] To go to New York city Fatima

[00:02:30] Fatima

[00:02:32] What did the young man say

[00:02:34] Before he stole you away

[00:02:36] On that fateful day Fatima

[00:02:40] Fatima

[00:02:42] Did he know your name

[00:02:44] Or the plans we made

[00:02:47] To go to New York city Fatima

[00:02:50] If beauty was in the eyes of beholder

[00:02:53] How come everyone hushed when she walked by

[00:02:56] How come girls would look just to scold her

[00:02:58] How come the angel wanted to hold her

[00:03:00] Fatima Fatima I'm in America

[00:03:03] I make rhymes and I make them delicate

[00:03:06] You would have liked the parks in connecticut

[00:03:08] You would have said I'm working too hard again

[00:03:11] Damn you shooter damn you the building

[00:03:13] Whose walls hid the blood she was spilling

[00:03:15] Damn you country so good at killing

[00:03:18] Damn you feeling for persevering

[00:03:21] Is it true when they say all you need is just love

[00:03:24] Is it true

[00:03:26] What about those who have loved

[00:03:28] Only to find that it's taken away

[00:03:30] And why do they say that the children have rights to be free

[00:03:34] To be free

[00:03:36] What about those who I've known

[00:03:38] Whose memory still lives inside of me

[00:03:40] Fatima

[00:03:42] What did the gun man say

[00:03:44] Before he took you away on that fateful day

[00:03:49] Fatima

[00:03:51] Fatima

[00:03:52] Did he know your name or the plans we made

[00:03:57] To go to New York city

[00:03:59] Fatima

[00:04:01] Fatima

[00:04:02] What did the gun man say

[00:04:04] Before he took you away on that fateful day

[00:04:09] Fatima

[00:04:11] Fatima

[00:04:12] Did he know your name or the plans we made

[00:04:17] To go to New York city

[00:04:19] Fatima

[00:04:21] Fatima

[00:04:22] Now I just want to make it clear I don't want you to

[00:04:27] Shed a tear

[00:04:29] Because this here is a celebration we're not mourning we're celebrating

[00:04:41] Fatima

[00:04:42] Yeah

[00:04:44] So baby don't cry please don't let the tears fall

[00:04:53] So don't cry
