Tribo de Jah
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
A Tribo está na Jamaica
The Tribe is in Jamaica
Culture está no Maranhão
Culture is in Maranhão
A Tribo se aquece e pulsa no flash
The Tribe warms up and pulses in the flash
E deixa a sua marca na meca do som
And leaves its mark in the mecca of sound
Eric e Stanley em São Luís
Eric and Stanley in São Luís
Grande performance do reggae raiz
Great performance of roots reggae
Wailers e outros vêm novamente
Wailers and others come again
Culture segue para Paris
Culture moves on to Paris
O reggae cruza os continentes
Reggae crosses continents
Miami é a esquina da conexão
Miami is the corner of connection
Estados Unidos, Canadá, Oriente
United States, Canada, East
África, Europa, Brasil e Japão
Africa, Europe, Brazil, and Japan
O reggae voa pelo mundo
Reggae flies around the world
Nas asas do avião
On the wings of the plane
O reggae viaja
Reggae travels
Subindo ao céu, rolando no chão
Ascending to the sky, rolling on the ground
O reggae voa pelo mundo
Reggae flies around the world
Nas asas do avião
On the wings of the plane
O reggae viaja
Reggae travels
Subindo ao céu, rolando no chão
Ascending to the sky, rolling on the ground
Solidão na estrada
Solitude on the road
Amor perdido em vagas rotas, escalas remota
Lost love on vague routes, remote scales
Destinação, uh yeah
Destination, uh yeah
Ainda há uma longa jornada
There's still a long journey
Que se seguir
To follow
Oooo
Oooo
Há que se cumprir a missão
The mission must be fulfilled
A Tribo roda a Jamaica
The Tribe travels Jamaica
E cruza a Ilha em toda a sua extensão
And crosses the island in its entirety
Muitas pedras na bagagem
Many stones in the luggage
Segue viagem pro Maranhão
Continues the journey to Maranhão
Entra nas entranhas do Nordeste
Enters the bowels of the Northeast
E rasga a caatinga seca do sertão
And tears through the dry caatinga of the backlands
Levando mensagens pelo agreste
Carrying messages through the wilderness
Lembra as passadas de Lampião
Remembers the footsteps of Lampião
O reggae é apenas entretenimento
Reggae is just entertainment
Mas pode libertar mentes e almas
But it can free minds and souls
Dança e música com sentimento
Dance and music with feeling
Rolando sem ódio, rolando sem trauma
Rolling without hatred, rolling without trauma
Não basta ser rasta
It's not enough to be Rasta
É preciso ser puro, o seu coração
You must be pure, your heart
Não basta ser rasta, não
It's not enough to be Rasta, no
Pra obter graça é preciso perdão
To obtain grace, forgiveness is necessary
Não basta ser rasta
It's not enough to be Rasta
É preciso estar certo da convicção
You must be sure of your conviction
Não basta ser rasta, não
It's not enough to be Rasta, no
É preciso ser justo em sua razão
You must be just in your reason
