Birth Of A New Age

Skin as rich as the starlit night
Your rhythm is rebellion, your rhythm is rebellion
Deep currents running in the rivers of your eyes
Your rhythm is rebellion, your rhythm is rebellion
They spat on your crown and they poisoned your ground
Your rhythm is rebellion, your rhythm is rebellion
They burned your heroes at the stake
But your voice will echo all their names
This ain't the end, no
It's the birth of a new age

Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko, broko mi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko, broko mi

Soul blazin' like a hurricane
Your rhythm is rebellion, your rhythm is rebellion
Spirit roaring wild like untamed flames
Your rhythm is rebellion, your rhythm is rebellion
They buried your guts, they imprisoned your thoughts
Your rhythm is rebellion, your rhythm is rebellion
They tried to drain you off your faith
But you are the rage that melts the chains
This ain't the end, no
It's the birth of a new age

We are the fruit born in the legacy
Of every forgotten revolutionary
Born in resillience, proud like a lion
We are the birth of a new age

Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko, broko mi
Mi na afu sensi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko, broko mi
Mi na afu sensi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko, broko mi
Mi na afu sensi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko mi
Yu no man broko, broko mi
Mi na afu sensi

Birth Of A New Age

You can't break me
You can't break me
You can't break, break me
You can't break me
You can't break me
You can't break, break me

We are the fruit born in the legacy
Of every forgotten revolutionary
Born in resillience, proud like a lion
We are the birth of a new age

You can't break me
You can't break me
You can't break, break me
I'm half a cent
You can't break me
You can't break me
You can't break, break me
I'm half a cent
You can't break me
You can't break me
You can't break, break me
I'm half a cent
You can't break me
You can't break me
You can't break, break me
I'm half a cent

In 1956, every participating country could enter with two songs. The Netherlands were the first country to sing a song on Eurovision with "De vogels van Holland" (the birds of the Netherlands).

Did you know...

The previous year’s winner hosts Eurovision but it’s so expensive that nations have pleaded poverty to get out of it. The countries who have opted out include the Netherlands, France, Monaco, and Luxembourg and the job went to the UK four times
