Je suis sûr que vous attendiez ce vendredi reggae avec impatience, vous demandant ce que j’allais bien pouvoir vous sortir. Et à vrai dire après une longue réflexion j’ai penché pour cette chanson The Same Song du fameux groupe Israel Vibration.
We all gonna jam the same jam
Oh whether you’re a Bobo
Oh whether you’re an Orthodox
Oh whether you’re a Binghi Natty Dread
Oh whether you’re ah Twelve Tribes of Israel.
We all gonna sing The Same Song
We all gonna jam the same jam
So when we argue and fuss and fight (yhat’s not right)
We’re giving hypocrites the right to say
That we can’t unite (my God)
We just keep on fight
We all gonna sing The Same Song…
Arffff….mille excuses à tous…
Je ne sais pas ce que j’ai fait hier vendredi???
Mais force est de constater que j’ai oublié le vendredi reggae.
Pour me faire pardonner je vous propose une petite chanson signée Burning Spear : Slavery days
Cette chanson est un grand classique de Burning Spear.
Si vous ne deviez retenir qu’une seule chanson de tout le répertoire de l’artiste (et il y en a…) il ne devrait pas en être autrement, Slavery Days est la chanson de Burning Spear!

Do you remember the days of slav’ry ?
Do you remember the days of slav’ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav’ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
And how they beat us (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
And how they worked us so hard. (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
And how they used us. (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Till they refuse us. (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav’ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Mm, And a big fat bull
Mm, We usually pull it ev’rywhere
Mm, We must pull it
Mm, With shackles around our necks,
Mm, And I can see it all no more
Do you remember the days of slav’ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Some of us survive, (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Show ing them that we are still a live (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav’ry ? (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
History can recall, History can recall. (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
History can recall the days of slav’ry. (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Oh slav’ry day (Do you remember the days of slav’ry ?)
Certes Fantan Mojah n’est pas le plus célèbre des Jamaïcains, mais avec ce titre « Hungry» il a le mérite de vous faire bouger le gros orteil.
Quoi de mieux pour un vendredi reggae??
