Gyptianの「Serious times」

ホントにヤバイ。心にグッとくる。

このリズム「ナイヤビンギ」がそうさせてるんかな？

歌詞もグググッときます。ホンマ泣ける。

Gyptianも男前やしね。

○ナイヤビンギ

ナイヤビンギ(Nyahbinghi)とは、ラスタファリアンの宗教的な集会、またはその集会で演奏される音楽のこと。円陣を組んで一晩中ガンジャを吸う、太鼓を叩いて歌う、話し合うなどする。ラスタファリアン同士の交流の場。(Wikipediaより)

ちなみに、このケテ(kette)と言う太鼓を鳴らしながら歌うそうです。

Serious Times

Chorus:

So I say

These are some serious times

All I can see around natty is violence and crime

Full time for Rass(Rasta) to centralize, socialize and realize

To let the sun shine throughout everyday

Let the moon shine through the peaceful night

This is seven time rise, seven times fall

But I don't really believe in those falling things at all

Cos life continues as it goes if you really want to know the truth half the truth hasn't been told

No no no no no

(Repeat)

To some time you think  peace in every thing

It could be the first sing of destruction

See you wake up this morning,  you better give thanks you don't know if you're gonna live to see tomorrow

Life is  much more precious than gold

Yea yea, and if the truth hasn't been told

※

So I say these are some serious times

All I can see round natty is violence and crime

Full time for Rass to centralize, socialize and realize

See all the corner, watch how you a hang out upon the corner

A straight drive by me see gwann upon the corner

On the corner, the youths them really nah hold no water

A stray them go stray and left the border

Cos a domino them say them gone, now they can play

And a car come in and  shots start to spray

Only innocent life can get taken away

Chorus

To some time I think peace in everything

It could be the first sing of destruction

Say I wake up this morning, for that I give thanks you don't know if you're gonna live to see tomorrow

Life is much more precious than gold

Yea yea, and if the truth hasn't been told

※Repeat

何度でも何度でも立ち上がる　落ちっぱなしなんてことはない

人生は続いていくのだから　本当に知りたい真実が語られることがなくても

毎朝起きて生きている事に感謝をする　明日もいきているかどうかなんて分からない

人生は「金」よりも価値のあるものだから

もし真実が語られなくても

僕は歌う

このシリアスな時代

まわりを見渡せば暴力や犯罪だらけ

今こそラスタがひとつになる時なんだ
