Pause Elders - Jyohn Loretta

Zion, dreaming from an Iron gate Dragon, fire ago burn dem all Jah gonna start the 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 hear them shouting changes From out of the minds and thoughts of our children Here in desolate places Oh we give thanks and praises to dem elders For the guidance we are after Oh we give thanks and praises to dem 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 these 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! Beaten dem down, shootin' dem down Oh it's a poor man's battle for the youth man stalk And the rich dem 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: Oh freedom taking over

Well, goodbye tubs and clothes lines, goodbye pots and pans I'm a gonna take a greyhound bus, as further as I can I ain't a gonna wash no windows and I ain't a gonna scrub no floors And when you realize I'm gone, I'm a gonna hear you roar. And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home. I work my fingers to the bone and we don't hardly speak And all I ever get is just a little kiss about once a week So you can feed the chickens and you can milk the cow This a woman's liberation, honey is a gonna start right now. And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home. I'll dress up like a movie star and pretty up my hair And no one here is a gonna know what I'll be doing there I'll be swinging from a chandelier and bouncin' off the walls Instead of lovin' just one man I'm a gonna love 'em all. And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home...

Loretta, I see you walking now and then Loretta, I see you coming near Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper? How are we supposed to carry on? Well, I've got to for now Forget her, and everything she said, she lied I met her, morning noon and night Well, I'd say I fooled ya So, Loretta, you never won the fight Why's it oh so hard to turn back and finally whisper? How are we supposed to carry on? Well, I've got to for now (Loretta, I've got to) (Loretta, I've got to) (Loretta, I've got to) (Loretta)

Well you'd think I know you better than that Gettin' lost in your American drag And if anybody's askin' Say I'm gettin' past it now But the shadow that you're casting's Waiting for the sun to come out I'm counting down the days until I wake up in her arms So if you're gonna stay the night I pray that I'll find Loretta when you're gone I'll keep writing all these letters to her When I find Loretta I'll know for sure Yeah her glow will send you reeling Nothing's gonna stand in her way She'll be shinin' 'til you feel it So try to find a place in the shade I'm counting down the days until I wake up in her arms So if you're gonna stay the night I pray that I'll find Loretta when you're gone I'm counting down the days until I wake up in her arms So if you're gonna stay the night I pray that I'll find Loretta when you're gone I'll find Loretta when you're gone I'll find Loretta when you're gone

Voglia di stringersi e poi Vino bianco, fiori e vecchie canzoni E si rideva di noi Che imbroglio era Maledetta primavera Che resta di un sogno erotico se Al risveglio è diventato un poeta Se a mani vuote di te Non so più fare Come se non fosse amore Se per errore Chiudo gli occhi e penso a te Se per innamorarmi ancora Tornerai, maledetta primavera Che imbroglio se Per innamorarmi basta un'ora Che fretta c'era Maledetta primavera Che fretta c'era Se fa male solo a me Che resta dentro di me Di carezze che non toccano il cuore Stelle, una sola ce n'è Che mi può dare La misura di un amore Se per errore Chiudi gli occhi e pensi a me Se per innamorarmi ancora Tornerai, maledetta primavera Che importa se Per innamorarsi basta un'ora Che fretta c'era Maledetta primavera Che fretta c'era Maledetta come te Lasciami fare Come se non fosse amore Ma per errore Chiudi gli occhi e pensa a me Che importa se Per innamorarsi basta un'ora Che fretta c'era Maledetta primavera Che fretta c'era Lo sappiamo io e te Maledetta primavera
