Lyrics and translation
Original
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My Delilah, my Delilah, we gon' triumph.
Light the fire, light the fire, new alliance.
When the morning comes, we gon' rise again.
When the war is done, we'll be a free nation.
So rise again.
Yeah.
Rise again.
Yeah.
So rise again. So let me tell you something. Man come here for to sing.
Me not come here for to swing.
From the gully bank king become the top ranking. Money left to when me sing.
Hey, me come here fi stand firm. Remember the kings make the tables turn.
Money we earn, even though the fire burn. Delilah is a girl wey make you cry like Kerm.
So rise again.
Yeah.
Rise again.
Yeah.
So rise again.
We gon' rise again.
When the war is done, we'll be a free nation.
So rise again. Out of the fires, girl, we will always defeat them.
And we will rise up above them.
Girl, we will never believe no liars.
We will rise. Bad boys.
Dressed hunter on the front line with a fist full of fire. Bass and a mass of drums, now you been denied.
With a big bag of tune, with the beanie and the whoopa.
Tuna on the drums and he's just harder than a corner. Wah wah.
Stop all the complaining.
And close up your damn mouth before I leave you out in the raining.
It's draining and it's boring, man, you got them and they're snoring.
At the same time do your laundering, and you don't know your corner. Let me tell you right now, Tekka Bus show is over.
Man will get chopping at the head, looking down, sweating for hoes.
And I'm done with all the talking and the boring. All you man deh keep on walking.
If I fire where you love, then I make you keep running.
Hey, keep running.
Hey. If I fire where you love, if I fire where you love.
If I fire where you love, if I fire where you love. Keep running. My Delilah, my Delilah, we gon' triumph.
Light the fire, light the fire, new alliance. So rise again.
Yeah.
Rise again.
Yeah.
So rise again. Jaga.
Homie.
All to the people. Lighter.
All of us here.
