Reggae Sounds lyrics with English Translations





Shock, black double down-beat bouncin' Rock-wize tumble doun sound music Foot drop, find drum blood story Bass his'try is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story
Thunder from a bass drum soundin' Lightnin' from a trumpet and a organ Bass and rythm and trumpet double up Keep up with drums for a deep pound searchin'
Riddim of a tropical, electrical storm Cool doun to de base of struggle Flame ridim of historical yearnin' Flame ridim of de time of turnin' Measurin' de time for bombs and for burnin'
Slo' drop, make stop, move forward Dig doun to de root of pain Shape it into violence for de people They will know what to do, they will do it
Shock, black double down-beat bouncin' Rock-wize tumble doun sound music Foot drop, find drum blood story Bass his'try is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story
Riddim of a tropical, electrical storm Cool doun to de base of struggle Flame ridim of historical yearnin' Flame ridim of de time of turnin' Measurin' de time for bombs and for burnin'
Slo' drop, make stop, move forward Dig doun to de root of pain Shape it into violence for de people They will know what to do, they will do it
Shock, black double down-beat bouncin' Rock-wize tumble doun sound music Foot drop, find drum blood story Bass his'try is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story
