In the secret of his dreams
sitting in the darkness he is looking
out through the window
sounds and laughs resounding
in his memory
like a trembling on the other side
of the window

waiting for the ending
he sings the song
telling the story of a man who
know life's thorny like a rose
waiting for the ending he sings
the song

this is the story of a man
who knows there's nobody else
around

guiding bird has disappeared
joining hands, he closes his eyes
and put his head on the pillow
something wrong has changed
his faith in misery
his life is like a movie waiting for a scenario

life...is...thorny like a rose pray...waiting...for an answer faith....

Far down the sea there's a king traveling
starfish glows for the king: "this way, my lord"
deep on the sea, oh the king sees the queen
heading close to the queen: "we made it, my dear"

Oh the prince's coming in, calling queen and the king
sun shines through, warm water and blue
Now wait out a second, there's something coming in
king and queen disappear, my prince stays here

It's a tuna or a cod, a submarine how odd
I'll wait out there, see if they care
A ship with a man, seahorse jumping out of sand
steaming fast as a dream, you stay here my prince

Oh i'll swam through the sea, past that big funny machine
i love that game, now catch me if you can

Blow Roland, blow your horn in heaven
do angels dance if not make them dance

will never go back to Jamaica again
Roland we soul bredda gone, we're in pain

bye Roland bye bye my dear friend
we will meet again at di rainbow's end

I and di mafia
we're bak in Africa
fi meet di Emperor
of sounds in Ethiopia
back to awi roots now
we set up a new era
dragons on mi finga
sing "united Africa"!

Go tell di black messiah
I and di mafia
we learn di whole chapter
Kebranagast
in Addis Ababa
we found out di scorcha
remember Lumumba
di mystical warrior

I and di mafia
we riddim conqueror
we fightin' for freedom
yes we shall overcome
stop di war and gun ting
listen Africa sings
di old time melody
African unity!

Tu es si belle que la samba va t'amener loin

Zun zun zun zun, Jussara viens "samber" (ce qui veut dire participer en une ronde de samba en chantant, jouant ou dansant ou tout à la fois)

Tu es si belle que la samba va te prendre.

Uma tarde inteira, descansando só nos dois

J'irais au-delà, je m'envolerais

Wake me up
When I’ve learned how to forget
That you exist
That you were ever in my head
I’m sick of feeling like I’ll never feel anything again
I’m feeling like I’m falling without you to catch me and
All of a sudden
Cold sweat comes running Down my neck
I see your face on the street Was it you
Or was it someone else
I’m lost without you
I am hungry for you
But I am never going back to where you’re at
I am lost without you
I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you Without you
I am just half of who I am
