paroles de chanson Reggae Fi May Ayim - Linton Kwesi Johnson

It weard ow life wit det kyan canspyah
Fi shattah di awts most fragile diziah
Ow histri an byagrafi kyan plat gense yu
An dem 'angst' an dem 'anomie gang-up pon yu

Afro-german warrior woman
From hamburg via bremen
Den finally
Berlin

It woz in di dazzlin atmosfare
A di black radical bookfair
Dat mi site yu
Sweet sistah
Brite-eyed like hope
Like a young antelope
Who couda cope

Wid di daily deflowahin a di spirit
Wit di evryday erowshan a di soul

Two passin clouds you and I
Inna di dezert a di sky
Exchingin vaypah

But in di commerc a di awt
Woz it fair trade in regret
In love an lauftah?

Mi nevah know
Mi couldn tell
Mi shouda site seh

Tru all di learnin
Di teachin
Rizistin
An assistin
Di lovin
Di givin
Organizin
An difyin

Dat di kaizah a darkness
Did kyapcha yu awt
Dat di lass time mi si yu
Would be di lass time mi si yu
Dat you woz free
Fallin screamin
Terteen stanzahs doun
Yu final poem in blood pan di groun
Dat soh sudden dat soh soon
You wouda fly out
Pon a won way tickit to ghana
Gaan ketch up wid you paas
Mongst yu ancestaz

Wi give tanks
Fi di life
Yu share wid wi
Wi give tanks
Fi di lite
Yu shine pon wi
Wi give tanks
Fi di love
Yu showah pon wi
Wi give tanks
Fi yu memahri
