Elton John - Slave [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
There's a river running sweat right through our land
Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand
And i've taken just as much as i can stand
Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can
Most nights i have to watch my woman cry
Every day i watch the colonel smile
His painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day i'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground

[Chorus]
Slave, slave
To fight the violence we must be brave
Hold on strong to the love god gave
Slave

[Verse 2]
There's a rumor of a war that's yet to come
That may free our families and our sons
It may lay green lands to barren wastes
The price of release is a bitter blow to face

[Chorus][x2]
