Marley Lyrics by Youssou N’Dour

Dakar - Kingston

2010

Marley was a young soul who throwed it away
He showed the world the route to reggae
One love no woman no cry
Stand up Africa unite
The Rastaman he was a really good man
Give thanks to the one who gave the world Marley
Give thanks to the one who gave us Bob Marley
He never intended to go away
Before he did he had a lot to say
One love, No woman no cry
Stand up Africa unite
The Rastaman he was a really good man
La musique de Marley m'a bien inspiré
Du Brésil, Australie et même Bombay
Les Africains, Indiens Portuguais
Ils aiment le one top dans le root reggae
Is This Love, Jah live, Natural Mystic
Babylon System, Kaya, Exodus
We will be forever loving enjoying his music
[Chorus]
The Rastaman he was a really good man
One love, No woman no cry
Stand up, Africa unite
The Rastaman he was a really good man
Give thanks to the one who gave the world Marley
Give thanks to the one who gave us Bob Marley
He never intended to go away
Before he did he had a lot to say
One love, No woman no cry
Stand up, Africa unite
The Rastaman he was a really good man
La musique de Marley m'a bien inspiré
Du Brésil, Australie et même Bombay
Les Africains, Indiens Portuguais
Ils aiment le one top dans le root reggae
Is this love, Jah live, Natural Mystic
Babylon System, Kaya, Exodus
We will be forever loving enjoying dancing his music
[Chorus]
The Rastaman he was a really good man
One love, No woman no cry
Stand up Africa unite
The Rastaman he was a really good man
