Текст песни Rwanda (Pato Banton & The Reggae Revolution) с переводом

Rwanda, Rwanda, Rwanda

Hey, tell me why, tell me why?

Rwanda, Rwanda, Rwanda

Tell me why, tell me why?

Who gave you the guns? Who gave you the bombs?

Who gave you devices of destruction?

Jah Jah gave us the moon, the sun, oh yeah! and all the land

So why you wanna hurt and kill your brother man?

Tell me why

Roots! I am the English-Jamaican-African

Who goes by the name of Pato Banton

Yeah once again well here I come

Like a Lion in the jungle proud and strong

So listen to me keenly and understand

Mama Africa is a beautiful land

The birthplace of every nation

The mother of the whole civilization

That’s why I can not understand

All the suffering and the contention

When will we learn how to live as one

Underneath Jah Jah moon and sun

Rwanda! I have a question: Why the tribal segregation?

Rwanda! Where do the guns come from? And the ammunition?

Rwanda! I bet is not an African probably some European

Rwanda! So many people a die. Why? Because of rumors and lies

Rwanda! What about the children’s cries?

Who will wipe the tears from their eyes?

Rwanda! Somebody tell me why, won’t somebody tell me?

East, West, North and South Africa!

The time has come to shake loose the chains that bind us

And break down the barriers of prejudice that divide us

The gates of freedom are open wide

The time has come for us to step inside

Let’s move away of acts of genocide

And all forms of racial suicide
