The River Remembers It All歌词完整版
The river remembers it all
Where the mountain’s streams
come together in the river
that makes its way
to the sea
There used to be
a place of separation
where not everyone
could be
This river flows like history
a body of memory
winding through the leafy suburbs
of the well-off bourgeoisie
We can live in these spaces like there are no traces
but the river remembers it all
from Newlands to Mowbray from Woodstock to the sea
this river remembers it all, this river remembers it all
Follow the Liesbek
from its pristine source
to where it meets
Black River
From the colonizers,
and the conquistadors
to the Apartheid state
and the ghosts of war
This river flows like history
of tormented bodies and souls
from the ghost of d’Almeida to the cries of Robben Island
and that’s just how the story goes
We can live in these spaces like there are no traces
but the river remembers it all
from Newlands to Mowbray from Woodstock to the sea
this river remembers it all, this river remembers it all
Now loaded speculators and property developers converge on these sacred halls
Boutique hotels and upmarket condos to cover up the specters of it all
We can live in these spaces like there are no traces
but the river remembers it all
from Newlands to Mowbray from Woodstock to the sea
this river remembers it all, this river remembers it all
