TRIBUTE TO NELSON MANDELA


This year, on Peace Day, we are going to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela, who died on the 5th of December, 2013.

Nelson Mandela won the Peace Noble prize in 1993. Do you know why?
And in this song we are going to learn, they repeat many times "Free Nelson Mandela". Why do you think they do it?
Let's find out some more about Mandela, why is he so famous, where did he live, what did he do?

FREE NELSON MANDELA (BY The Specials)

Free Nelson Mandela
Free, free, free, free, free Nelson Mandela

Free Nelson Mandela
21 years in captivity
Shoes too small to fit his feet
His body abused but his mind is still free
Are you so blind that you cannot see? I said
Free Nelson Mandela, I'm begging you
Free Nelson Mandela

Pleaded the causes of the ANC
Only one man in a large army
Are you so blind that you cannot see?
Are you so deaf that you cannot hear his plea?
Free Nelson Mandela, I'm begging you
Free Nelson Mandela

21 years in captivity
Are you so blind that you cannot see?
Are you so deaf that you cannot hear?
Are you so dumb that you cannot speak? I said
Free Nelson Mandela, I'm begging you
Free Nelson Mandela
Free Nelson Mandela, begging you, begging you please
Free Nelson Mandela, you got to, you got to, you got to free, you got to free, you got to free
Free Nelson Mandela
Free Nelson Mandela
Free, free….

    The part that is a little difficult is the part of "you got to, you go to..." Excepting this part, Ilike very much the song. :)

      I'm glad you like it, Paula, and yes, it's a bit difficult, but you are great singers when you want to, you can do it!
      Now you have to learn to dance like the people in the video!
      Thanks for your comment!

      Thanks for your comment, girls, but why is this song funny? Maybe you mean the dance is funny, but not the lyrics!

      Lyrics are the words of the song.

      See you tomorrow!

      Hi, Nico!
      I don't think the song is funny, funny means it makes you laugh, and this song doesn't make you laugh!
      But it is FUN, that means you have a good time when you sing it.
      Thanks for the comment!

    Yes, Nico, you are right, if I let you talk in Spanish, we would understand each other really well!
    But you would not learn much English, don't you think?
    See you tomorrow!
