Текст песни The Monkey, The Cow and the Wolf (Voice Only) - Zain Bhikha feat. Layana Kotwal

So these are stories, they tell no lies
Lessons that stand through the test of time
They tell us of a path that remains so true
Before a Wolf or a Cow or Monkey gets you!
The Story of the Monkey
Once was a wicked guy
Sold people lots of lies
Showed something whole
Cut it half, then he stole
Know that's a no no!
To others it's a low blow
Be fair and be just is the only way to go
But then Allah sent him a monkey
That he loved more than life itself
What he didn't know, wherever he would go
The monkey purified his wealth
Unbeknown to him, he thought he was free
Of his lies and his cheating but this could not be
His little friend, cleansed every little cent
And fifty percent of his wealth
The monkey threw into the sea
So it may be later, it may be soon
But some day there's a monkey gonna come for you
Allah hates cheating, Allah hates lies
So give what's due and receive what's right
The Story of the Cow
Once was a farmer, who brought lots of drama
Working his animals harder and harder
Saw them as nothing but low life creatures
To bow to his bidding and to build his riches
He had a cow that he'd overload
And on top of that, on top of the cow he rode
So one day, to his enormous surprise,
The cow spoke right before his eyes
He said Oh man, this yoke I wear
I was not created for this burden I bear
You cannot abuse me, no longer you see
For our Creator has allowed me to speak
So be kind to both animals and human beings
So it may be later, it may be soon
But someday there's a cow gonna talk to you
Allah made animals, Allah made man
To all living creatures be kind and fair
The Story of the Wolf
Once was a shepherd who loved his sheep
He cared day and night, even deprived of his sleep
Any little sound, any little bleat bleat!
Off he ran real fast just to save his sheep
Then one day there came the big bad wolf
Sneaking and creeping for a closer look
And suddenly wham! He grabbed one lamb!
And tried to run away to his faraway land
But little did he know, the shepherd wasn't slow
Chasing and chasing until the wolf let go
But then wolf spoke, he said Oh beware
Someday you'll be gone, I'll be coming back here
And between them and me, there'll be no one to stand
And the wolf will be the shepherd of the lambs
So it may be later, it may be soon
But someday there's a wolf gonna try to take you
Be strong in faith and to your shepherd be true
Allah keep us safe when the wolf breaks through
So these are stories, they tell no lies
Lessons that stand through the test of time
They tell us of a path that remains so true
Before a wolf or a cow or monkey gets you!
