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 a 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
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
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 rcolte soit bonne
De la plante l'animal je dplace ma mtaphore
Dread in Babylone tel le ver dans leur pomme
Car si l'homme est un loup pour l'homme
Je m'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
