I n i are the living dread

Inna these ya dawn of the living dead x2

Were mind ah decreasing from a distant culture

Were manners increasin' cause we backing down vulture

I n i are the living dread

Inna these ya dawn of the living dead x2

Blessed be the children of man

And together will overstand

Blessed be the children of man

As numberless as grain of sand

I n i are the living dread

Inna these ya dawn of the living dead x2

Some building costly in the hill

While some many others don't never get no share

They priving a human of their rights

It's a crime against the worst don't have to tell you about prison

I n i are the living dread

Inna these ya dawn of the living dead x2

Were mind ah decreasing from a distant culture

Were manners increasin' cause we backing down vulture

I n I living out there hopefull and bright

Break

I n i are the living dread

Inna these ya dawn of the living dead

I n I heart of the maroon heart

I n I taught to the maroon tall

I n I trod the maroon trod

Inna desolate places

I n i are the living dread

Inna these ya dawn of the living dead x2

et en français :

____________

Nous sommes les dreads vivants

Parmi l'aube des morts vivants x2

Nos esprit s'avillissent a cause de cette lointaine culture

Nos manieres s'accroissent car nous cedons aux vautours

x2

Benis soient les enfants de l'homme

Et ensemble nous comprendrons

Beni soient les enfants de l'homme

Aussi peu nombreux que des grains de sables

x 2

Certains batissent cherement dans les collines

Pendant que tant d'autres ne reçoivent pas leurs du

ils privent un humain des ses droits

c'est un crime des pires, je ne vous parle meme pas de prison

x2

i n i vit là, plein d'espoir et lumineux

Break

Nous sommes des dreads vivants

Nous avons le cœur d'un Maroon

Nous avons l'enseignement d'un Maroon

Nous suivons les chemins des Maroon

A travers des lieux desolés

x2
