Preacher Man lyrics with English Translations
Mr. Preacher-man
What you got to say to di nation?
Mr. Preacher-man
What you goin' to say when the youths dem turn away?
I've been a believer for all of my life But there've been constant conflicts, raging in my mind The people are hurting and crying and searching And waiting for a reason to go on And all you can say is go pray and be patient It won't be this way for too long Sitting and waiting to me that seems crazy Making them lazy in your congregation Pleading to a Saviour, an emancipator Whose very behaviour proves you wrong So tell me
Mr. Preacher-man What you got to say to di nation? Mr. Preacher-man What you goin' to say when the youths dem turn away?
Since the very beginning you've told them the end was near Fearing damnation they buy their salvation Not living while they're still here But you will have to answer too, for all di tings unnu neva do A use emotions tie dem down instead a sen dem fi go roun' And live di words wha dem a soun', mek dem participate
Mr. Preacher-man What you got to say to di nation? Mr. Preacher-man What you goin' to say when the youths dem turn away?
Di people caught up in religion, traditions of a people Who did hold us in subjection Rejection of the power that was in our possession Before all a dis regression Back when we an di Creator had an intimate relationship Before dem even lan' ova 'pon di motherlan' Before dem even get fi ask di question If we needed dem religion, dem givin' it to we A look excuse fi carry dem infection cross di sea Den dem tek di ancient people put dem into slavery Rape and murder in di holy name of Christianity Yes religion is the tool, was the tool of the oppressor So tell mi
Mr. Preacher-man What is your reaction to the problems that we facing Is not no blame we placing, we jus' pleadin' we case in Di best way that we can Please help the I dem overstand Please help the I dem overstand
Mr. Preacher-man What you got to say to di nation? Oh Mr. Preacher-man When the youths dem turn away? Tell me Mr. Preacher-man What you got to say?
