War

30 années déjà que Bob Marley s'est envolé.

Ses chansons sont toujours aussi merveilleuses à écouter et ses textes malheureusement encore autant d'actualité...

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Well everywhere is war,
Me say war.

And until there's no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
I've got to say war.

And until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race,
Me say war.

But until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
And the rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained
Now everywhere is war, war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south,
War, war,
Rumours of war.

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola,
In Mozambique,
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war,
Me say war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south,
War, war,
Rumours of war.

And until that day,
The African continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight, if necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory

Of good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!

Jah Rastafari !
