歌手簡介:
Born in Somalia,[3] K'naan spent his childhood in Mogadishu[4] and lived there during the Somali Civil War, which began in 1991. His aunt, Magool, was one of Somalia's most famous singers.[5] K'naan's grandfather, Haji Mohammad, was a poet. He is Muslim,[6] and his name, Keinan, means "traveler" in the Somali language. He spent the early years of his life listening to the hip-hop records sent to him from America by his father, who had left Somalia earlier. When he was 13, K'naan, his mother, and his three siblings, older brother, Liban, and younger sisters Naciimo, and Sagal left their homeland and joined relatives in New York City, where they stayed briefly before moving to Canada, to the Toronto neighbourhood of Rexdale,[7] where there was a large Somali community and his family still resides.[8] There, K'naan began learning English, partly by listening to hip hop albums by artists like Nas and Rakim. Despite the fact that he could not yet speak the language, the young K'naan taught himself hip-hop and rap diction, copying the lyrics and style phonetically.[9] He then also began rapping.[10]
While growing up in Rexdale, K'naan spent time in prison and lost many friends to murder, suicide, prison, and deportation.
歌詞:
Waving Flag
Give me freedom
Give me fire
Give me reason
Take me higher
See the champions
Take the field now
Unify us, make us feel proud
In the streets our heads are lifting
as we lose our inhibition
Celebration, it surrounds us
Every nation all around us
Singing forever young
Singing songs underneath the sun
Let's rejoice in the beautiful game
And together at the end of the day
We all say
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
So wave your flag
Now wave your flag
And everybody will be singing it
And we all will be singing it
給我自由，給我火焰，給我激勵，讓我飛翔
隨冠軍的心馳騁綠茵場
凝聚一起，讓我們感受榮耀輝煌
擺脫心中的束縛，我們昂首走在大街上
歡慶的氣氛感染著你我，還有天下萬邦
永遠保有年輕的心，在陽光下盡情歌唱
讓我們陶醉在奔放的賽場
讓我們聚集成暮色蒼茫的海洋
我們相信
當我漸漸成長，我將更加強壯
人們會稱我自由之王，恰如旗幟風中飄揚
就讓你我旗幟飄揚
讓你我旗幟飄揚，旗幟飄揚……
