Текст песни Can't Come In (The Congos) с переводом

You’ve got to be clean

You keep on knocking but you can’t come in

The door is locked on you, don’t you know that it’s true

You’ve got to be ready

When the Bridegroom cometh

You’ve got to be clean

Five were wise, and five were foolish, foolish

So you keep on knocking but you can’t come in…

The rolling stone gathers no moss

Too late, too late shall be your pride

You keep on knocking but you can’t come in

You’ve got to be clean

To rally round the Red, Gold and Green

You keep on knocking but you can’t come in

The door is locked on you

Mercy 'pon Jah Jah judgement come

Telling the world…

Biblical References…

For many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and

Shall not be able. When once the master of the house is

Risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to

Stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord

Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say

Unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him

Luke 12:35−37 — Let your loins be girded about, and

Your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men

That wait for their lord, when he will return from the

Wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open

Unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom

The lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I

Say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them

To sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them

Likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and

Went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them

Were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish

Took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the

Wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While

The bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the

Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those

Virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish

Said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps

Are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so;

Lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather

To them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they

Went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were

Ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was

Shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying

Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily

I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye

Know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man

Cometh
