Freedom Come Freedom Go
Emancipation Echoes: Julian Borrego's Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
Freedom come
Freedom arrives
Freedom go
Freedom departs
So many years
Many years have passed
How many more
How much longer will it continue?
Being locked in chains
Being imprisoned by chains
Then to be sold
Then being traded/sold
Freedom come
Freedom arrives again
Freedom go
Freedom departs again
Freedom come
Repetition of the cycle of freedom arriving and departing
Freedom go
Reiteration of the cycle
So many lives
Many lives affected
How many more
How many more lives will be affected?
The blackest blood
The darkest, most painful experiences
Sweeps through the homes
Pain spreads through households
Freedom come
Freedom comes once more
Freedom go
Freedom departs once more
No, no, no
Expressing denial or refusal
Why
Questioning the situation
Good God
Expression of frustration or despair
Tell me why
Questioning the reasons behind the situation
Enough is enough
Repetition emphasizing a strong statement: "Enough is enough"
Enough is enough
-Enough is enough
-Enough is enough
-Enough is enough
-Enough is enough
-Enough is enough
-Enough is enough
-Enough is enough
-Enough is enough
-Enough is enough
-To make some change come
Time for change to occur
Ooo Waa Waa
Expressing a sound, a vocalization
