Mike Love - Neva Retiya [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
From the first moment I opened my eyes
I knew I had a destiny to realize
Cause we are all one people
One creature
One sky
And it is not our fate that we should be divided
And dead soon we all will be
If we can't figure out a way to live in peace and harmony
The pathway is ours to choose
We got so much to gain
We got even more to lose

The world is changing
Everyone knows
The forests are dying
While humanity grows
Why don't we feel like
We have a say?
The fate of the future
Are our world today

Corporate politicians
Hung up on puppet strings
Making bad decisions for all of us
With so much under cover
Its only in each other
That we can put our trust

[Chorus]
Farmers plant your corn
And trailblazers trod it on
We all must face the dawn together
Singers sing your songs
Cause I know it won't be long
This world will die but the spirit is
Forever

[Verse 2]
Marching forward
Through the never
Past returning
Beyond forever
Now reborn
Again we borrow
These hearts and hands through our joy and our sorrow

[Bridge]
And we burn the fyah
Rastaman burn the fyah

[Chorus]
Farmers plant your corn
And trailblazers trod it on
We all must face the dawn together
Singers sing your songs
Cause I know it won't be long
This world will die but the spirit is
Forever

[Verse 3]
Cause if into the future we all could see
We'd probably do things a little differently
At least I hope we would have the sense
To see the futility of all this violence
Now we're seeing the damage we've done
We're becoming prisoners of our own sun
And if we are going to survive in these times
We got to leave the past behind

Dust to dust and
Ashes to ashes
Our past is future
Our future will become our past
From descendants
To ancestors
I and I return forIver

[Outro]
Burn the fyah
Neva retiya

Rastaman
Burn the fyah
Neva retiya

Higher
Burn the fyah
Neva retiya

Oh Jah man
Burn the fyah
Neva retiya

Father Psalms will
Burn the fyah
Neva retiya

Oh Jah Gumby will
Burn the fyah
Neva retiya

Reggae music will
Burn the fyah
Neva retiya

Woah oh
Burn the fyah
Neva retiya

Jah music will
Jah music will burn the fyah

Neva neva neva neva retiya
Neva neva neva neva retiya
