The Shamen

'Move any mountain'
12-inch remix 1991
The Shamen

well well back in the day
em que havia torneiras a jorrar dinheiro em Portugal
nós que sempre fomos remediados com emprego estável
mas que nunca fomos ao algarve coitadinhos de nós
snif snif ai que vou chorar
mas havia dinheiro para competir com os outros aspirantes a galo
e comprar uma sapatilhas Diadora por doze contos de reis
e hoje compro sapatlhas Start a imitar as
All-star por dez euros não but back in the day
quando com dezoito verões entrei na faculdade
e regressei de uma primeira ou segunda semana de caloiro
e borga fora da família
para ir jogar bilhar ao Maior com os colegas de forno town
e ouvir uma qualquer versão desta música dos The Shamen,
tudo parecia possível.

Eis outro exemplo de como os The Shamen definiram uma geração:



'Here me o my people'
do album "En-tact"
1991
The Shamen

Lyrics:

Oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people

We seize at this moment, justice
Still standing on the streets of South Africa
And apartheid still reigns supreme all through this land
And the price too high and the end is near

We hear the voices of the beast
As it shouts at us, as it tries to frighten us
As it tries to intimidate us
And we know the price is high but the end is near

We know, we know, that we will have to pay
And get squashed, and the struggle is long and hard
And through each part, the price is high but the end is near

Do not be scared, do not do wrong
Do not betray our faith, do not betray our children
Do not betray our fathers, do not betray our mothers
Do not betray our vision
Do not betray the justice we are fighting for
Do not betray the lands we will see that will rise up
Out of the ashes of this country
And apartheid will crumble
The price will be high, but the end is near

Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people

Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
Hear me oh my people
