K`naan

= K`naan = Jeg har valgt å analysere sangen “waving flag” av k’naan. Det er den offisielle sangen for fotball VM 2010 i Sør-Afrika. Sangen handler uten tvil om fattigdom og krig. Det høres ut som om han mener at man blir lovet at det skal bli bedre etter at det har vært krig, men så etterlater den seg bare fattigdom, for eksempel i starten av det andre verset: ” so many wars, settelin scores, bringing us promises, leaving us poor”. Det er allikevel en optimistisk sang, som får det til å høres ut som at det ordner seg, dette hører vi spesielt i refrengene. Har ikke noe spesielt forhold til sangen, men den minner meg på fotball VM i sør Afrika, og det var på TV når jeg så på VM at jeg hørte sangen for første gang. Jeg synes også det er en bra sang.

When I get older  I will be stronger  They'll call me 'Freedon'  just like a wavin' flag  and then it goes back, and then it goes back  and then it goes back, and then it goes. ..

 Born to a throne, stronger than Rome  but violent-prone, poor people zone,  But it's my home, all I have known,  where I got grown, streets we would roam  Out of the darkness, I came the farthest  out of the hardest survival  Learn from these streets, it can be bleak,accept no defeat, surrender retreat
