Bob Marley lyrics
- Thread starter Jahnice
- Start date
one of my Marley favourites is 'War'-
'until the philosophy
that holds one race superior
and another inferior,
is finally,
and permenently
discredited,
and abandoned.'
'and until the colour of a mans skin
is of no more signifigance than
the colour of his eyes.'
maybe GreenGrass can pull that one up because i dont have it in my songbook.

What life has taught me
I would like to share with
Those who want to learn
Until the philosophy which hold one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war
That until there are no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be persuade, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war
War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumors of war
And until that day, the African continent
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight
We find it necessary and we know we shall win
As we are confident in the victory
Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

No Woman, No Cry
no woman, no cry,
no woman, no cry.
said, said, said i remember when we used to sit,
in the government yard in Trenchtown.
oba, observing the hypocrites,
as they would mingle with the good people we meet.
good friends we had,
oh good friends we've lost along the way.
in this bright future you can't forget your past,
so dry your tears i say
and no woman, no cry.
no woman, no cry.

of which i'll share with you.
my feet is my only carriage,
so i've got to push on through,
but while i'm gone
i mean, everything's gonna be alright,
everything's gonna be alright,
everything's gonna be alright,
everything's gonna be alright,
so , woman, no cry.

oh, my little sister don't shed no tears.

hey jahnice,,,,,
that's lovely,,,,
i think we may have met at last years ic at prix d ami,,
were you sitting towards the back of the room near the window? must have been fri or sat,,,,
peace and regards s2
that could be but i really am not good with names...944(or numbers)great with faces though and remembering b-days etc
despite my loud online presence, i am usually the quiet one in corner, giggling at absolutely nothing in particular
glad you like the idea.
i noticed that alot of people translate Marley songs into their native language but they sometimes do not really know the original lyric.
i tried to make it so the songs could be copy pasted and then put into a translation program like this one....

Yes me friend, me friend
We deh 'pon street again
Yes me friend, me good friend
Dem set me free again
The bars could not hold me
Force could not control me
They tried to keep me down
But Jah put I around
