All Babylon it in a malfunction,
A real Rastaman is a 'tan fas'

Oooh, says I fear Babylon,

And if you sick as you nuh fit you ha fi lick de chalwa

Bring me a orange juice, some to high fe liquor,
But thru mi go de good type o' sensemilla,
And if ya have a lickle hash a mix it together

So we ha' fe get together inna we community
We tek a one car(?) fi a love we family
And pass it roun' di set(?) a one, two, three

-----------------------------------
Note: "Satta a Massagana Ahamlack" is Amharic (Etiopian)
meaning " Give thanks and praise to God "
- a quote from the Abyssinians song by the same name
Awo = Yes
Medhanie 'Alem = Saviour of the World
- still in Amharic
a 'tan fas' is a stand fast, is a firm believer

UB40
Red, red wine goes to my head,
Makes me forget that I still need her so.
Red, red wine, it's up to you.
All I can do I've done.

Memories won't go, memories won't go.
Life is fine every time,
Thoughts of you leave my head.
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget.
Red, red wine, stay close to me.
Don't let me be alone.
It's tearing apart my blue heart.

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine,
You keep me rockin' all of the time.
Red red wine, you make me feel so grand,
I feel a million dollar when you're just in my hand.
Red red wine, you make me feel so sad,
Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad.
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine,
Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline.
Red red wine, you give me holy pahzing.
Holy pahzing, you make me do my own thing.
Red red wine, you give me not awful love.
Your kind of lovin' like a blessing from above.
Red red wine, I loved you right from the start,
Right from the start, and with all of my heart.
Red red wine in an eighties style.
Red red wine in a modern beat style.
Yeah.

Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind.
Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind.
Give me red wine, the kind make me feel fine.
You make me feel fine all of the time.
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine.
Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline.
The line broke, the money get choked,
Bunbah, ganjapani, little rubber boat.
Red red wine, I'm gonna hold on to you,
Hold on to you 'cause I know you love truth.
Red red wine, I'm gonna love you till I die,
Love you till I die, and that's no lie.
Red red wine, can't get your off my mind.
Wherever you may be, I'll surely find, I'll surely find.
Make no fuss, just leave us.
