Текст песни Elder's Dub (Groundation) с переводом

Zion, dreaming from an Iron gate

Dragon, fire ago burn dem all

Jah gonna stop dis revolution

The light struck the night,

Too indiscipline a battle dem fight

Walk and talk they steal, mash dem down we will

With the strength of a lion stand still

Iya, Iya, war today, oh steal I hear war today-ay-ay

The youth dem call upon the elders of which we seek after

The Congo Man a chanting, oh dem Congo Man a chant…

Oh the youth dem know, but what they cannot see

Is how dem use to laugh, and then kick upon we Oh all the youth don’t know, of all those tears we cry

Yes oh this Rastaman life, oh of this Rastaman life

And you can see the changes

From out of the minds and thoughts of our children

Here in desolate places

Oh we give thanks and praises to our elders

For the guidance we are after

Oh we give thanks and praises to our elders

For unto them we know that

No one shall stand alone tonight

Shall run, run tonight, shall stand alone tonight

Shall run, run tonight

Long before this war we use to cry and use to lie in bed

With visions of fire running red,

And so we call upon my elders instead

Don Carlos at the control

Wo yeah! Wo yeah! Now (4x)

See them come up along the road, oh I can see them

Some walk by day and some stalk by night

Oh Rastafari shall greet them in the end

And so de man run up so long, so long, Oh, Lord!

Dem beaten dem down, dem shootin' dem down

Oh it’s a poor man’s battle for the youth man stalk

And the rich dem a run away

Seems like de don’t know dem right from wrong

But I see the youth will fight tonight, wow

Look how they jump, and shriek and moan

For natty coming over

Now dis a freedom taking over

Oh yeah oh yeah oh, oh yeah now
