Gift from Jamaica

歌詞

【Intro】 Riddim from a faraway island carried by the wind In the sunlight, my heart starts to dance My heart has been pounding since I first encountered the sound of Jamaica It has reached Japan ⸻ 【Verse 1】 The rhythm of the waves reaches my heart Caribbean breeze, loosens my heart Surrendering myself to the beat of reggae My thoughts fly to the sky of Jamaica An old speaker can be heard from the street corner of Trench Town One drop rings out hope, as if to envelop even the wounded past ⸻ 【Chorus】 Thank you, Jamaica What reggae taught me Be strong, be kind, and live This path that the sound leads Thank you, Jamaica Meeting you is a gift A love song from the island that still resonates in my heart ⸻ 【Verse 2】 The smell of the earth and the sun The voices of children blooming in the back alleys Even the pain behind the smiles Reggae quietly sang Dread's brother talks about his roots "Freedom is living with sound" The flame of pride of our ancestors dwells in words mixed with patois ⸻ 【Chorus】 Thank you, Jamaica The truth that reggae illuminated Tears and smiles turned into rhythm The melody that we embraced Thank you, Jamaica I want to sing it again and again To connect this light you gave to the future ⸻ 【Bridge】 Even if we're hurt, we can walk With this riddim, we'll be fine Let's make No Woman, No Cry echo in the night sky Let the prayer of reggae resound To the skies around the world A signal to become one Wrapped in One love ⸻ 【Final Chorus】 Thank you, Jamaica The place my heart was longing for Riding on the sound and becoming free That's the magic of reggae Thank you, Jamaica It was a miracle that we met I'll walk with this sound One love forever, from Jamaica ⸻ 【Outro】 The wind blows again Bringing the sound of that island from far away If I close my eyes I can hear it Thank you, Jamaica... Irie...
