| I sometimes dream
|
| Of an island over the sea
|
| Where we could live
|
| Simply the way we wanna live
|
| But Jah gave us birth
|
| In this part of the world
|
| Marley sang, «We come from Trenchtown «But I and I are children of Babylon (so we’ve got to) Fight here for liberty
|
| Fight here in this society
|
| Here’s the power
|
| Which sets madness around this world (cries and hunger)
|
| In these hours
|
| Some are building our own future
|
| So if you wanna act this is the place to act
|
| Yes if you wanna fight this is the place to fight
|
| Rastas sing «Repatriation «But we’ve got nowhere to go but this land of confusion (so we’ve got to)
|
| Fight here for liberty
|
| Fight here in this society
|
| Je ne suis pas n© Kingston
|
| Non, le jeune homme au micro est enfant de Babylone
|
| Nos racines sont l, mais notre plante pousse hors normes
|
| Et bien qu’la terre soit sche y’s’peut qu’la r (c)colte soit bonne
|
| De la plante l’animal je d (c)place ma m (c)taphore
|
| Dread in Babylone tel le ver dans leur pomme
|
| Car si l’homme est un loup pour l’homme
|
| Je m'(c)carte de la meute je ne suis pas carnivore
|
| The smallest axe can cut the biggest tree
|
| The smallest match can burn their big cities |
