Par manque de temps je n’ai rien pu publier ce vendredi dernier et du coup bah pas de vendredi reggae.
je pense que ça explique le sale temps bien pourri que l’on se tape en ce moment.
J’en suis désolé.
Je vais tenter de rattraper tout ça en vous proposant cette petite chanson de Mr Patrice, Queens extraite de l’album Ancient Spirit.
Arfff j’entends les puristes du son roots me rire au nez mais peu importe que Patrice fasse du reggae ou pas.
Cette chanson me fait bouger le gros orteils et réjouie mon coeur.
Il ne m’en faut pas plus pour me donner envie de vous la faire partager.
Et en prime je vous offre les paroles si le désir vous prenait de faire un Karaoké.
Chorus:
this here one is for the queens
’cause it’s you that make me deh
I say it’s you that make me be
this is for all the sweet dreams
how much injustice you have to face
before you I bow my knees
1st verse:
how many times your man gone
while you stay alone with your daughters and sons
how many times the man hit’ and run’
’cause responsibility ha can’t stand
how many times tell me how many times
you have to face discrimination
how many times tell me how many times
you get lick by your man
but it is you that makes the world go ’round
let nobody put you down you have to wear the crown
it is you that make the world go ’round
know the value of yourself and let nobody put you down
bridge:
don’t let them tell you who you are
never ever bow no no no no
rise and take your stand
queens of this world to you I dedicate my song
chorus
2nd verse:
upon your shoulders you carry
so much responsibility for this strayed humanity
it is you that rule our destiny
in your heart you bear
all the future of this earth
I tell you if you wasn’t here
the end would be near. no title of this world can give you
royality of birth
you could wear diamonds and pearls
into a queen you still can’t be turned
it’s a profession you can’t learn
and it’s a title you can’t earn
all true born queens hold firm
’cause it’s you that makes the world go ’round
make nobody put you down you have to wear the crown
it’s you that makes the world go ’round
know the value of yourself and make nobody put you down
bridge:
don’t let them tell you who you are
never ever bow no no no no
keep you temple clean
queens, queens, queens, queens, queens
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!
Retrouvez tout Burning Spear à petits prix sur priceminister
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??
