Текст песни The Roots of It (Cannabis Song) (Uwe Banton) с переводом

Hey, hey -- yeh-he-yeah

Ah-hah -- this is the Cannabis Song

Hey, hey -- yeh-he-yeah

Mh-mmh -- this is the Cannabis Song

If you know the roots of it

Then you will find the truth in it

If you know the roots of it

Then you would make good use of it

Now they have been hiding

The truth for so long

Trying to tell the people

Using the herb is so wrong

It has been there for ten thousands of years

Now is the time to drive away those fears

Come on people, open up your ears

That’s why we’re singing it loud and clear

2x: if you know the roots of it

Then you will find the truth in it

2x: Hey, hey -- yeh-he-yeah

Mh-mmh -- this is the Cannabis Song

Bob Marley said, excuse me

While I light my spliff

Knowing that the cannabis

Is a precious gift

Because they told us so many lies

For some people it might be a surprise

To see my spliff as a blessing is disguise

Time for the herb to win the nobel price

2x: if you know the roots of it

Then you will find the truth in it

2x: Hey, hey -- yeh-he-yeah

Mh-mmh -- this is the Cannabis Song

So I beg you do not turn youths into criminals

By declaring something good into illegal

It is helpful, it is useful, it is natural

And for your meditation inspirational

Known all over the world, its international

From the Rastaman down to the Cardinal

They use it as a holy sacrament, well spiritual

The only crime about it, it’s still illegal

If you know the roots of it

Then you would make good use of it

If you know the roots of it

Then you will find the truth in it

Hey, hey -- yeh-he-yeah

Ah-hah -- this is the Cannabis Song

Hey, hey -- yeh-he-yeah

Mh-mmh -- this is the Cannabis Song

2x: if you know the roots of it

Then you will find the truth in it

Hey, hey -- yeh-he-yeah

Mh-mmh -- this is the Cannabis Song

Hey, hey -- yeh-he-yeah

Ah-hah -- this is the Cannabis Song
