War In Sierra Leone lyrics with English Translations
Bwoy, if yah see the remnant of sufferation and disgrace
Where the English government left inna Africa, dog b'woy
Them have no respect for the people
And act and a come g'waan like them decent
It was way down in West Africa, way down in the slave country I took a walk, I took a walk, down in West Africa Down in West Africa And there I found myself taking a short stop Way down in Ghana To tell them that me on ya Then after I took a rest I took a walk Way over to Cape Coast slave dungeon To see what was happening (hear what the song say)
Equal rights and justice stand for all Them a preach upstairs rights from downstairs (Lord have mercy) For Repatriation Slave trade continue until I found myself way over in Sierra Leone At the foot of Lion Mountain It was around about Christmastime Then I stop to have a drink of palm wine But one thing, them want the people live like swine They gave guns and bullets to the rebels A nd start to teach them to fight each other for diamond It was a diamond war (yet for whom?) And all because there was nothing to gain I've never seen the United Nation cry peace again So you nuh see the corruption (and I look at you)
Out of the woodland, man a nah nuh fight none Stretch out your hand, put it out yourself What do you want? Long sleeve or short sleeve? And them a take them cutlass and them chop it off (your request now) Long sleeve them chop you on the wrist Short sleeve them a cut it to the arm We have everything in paradise, my God - here in the West Even them Christmastime them song like a Christmastime without light!!
From the woodland, it was the sound of a bird. When I woke up in my lonely cottage Listening to the song of each thing And every man them a fight it don't know who is gonna win (War in a Africa, war in a Africa) War in a Africa But it is extra slaughter there in Sierra Leone One president fall down..
