Рут рэгги (патуа)

Автор: Елена Станиславова

Назло врагу! Жизнь продолжается. Экспериментировать — так с музыкой. Аутентичненько чтобы. Можно считать, что я повыпендривалась. Перевела свой рэгги-стих на английский, а продюсер помог с версией на патуа (Jamaican English). (Какая прэлесть этот их патуа!)

[Intro]
(Shine pon we)
(Let it shine)
Jah sun, come out from di cloud

[Verse 1]
July rain, yuh too heavy pon di land
Yuh shake di summer from di green bush
Leavin' dark footprints inna di water
But we a-wait fi di healin' light
July rain, move yuhself, move yuhself

[Chorus]
Step aside, let di sun-hot rise
Fill di yahd wid a joyful sound
Step aside, let di sun-hot rise
We want fi see di sky turn blue
(Sky turn blue, blue)

[Verse 2]
July wind, cease yuh blowin' so rough
Nuh tek di sweetness from di rose
Yuh bring di fretful spirit and di storm
Heavy cloud a-hide di Father face
July wind, rest yuhself, rest yuhself

[Chorus]
Step aside, let di sun-hot rise
Fill di yahd wid a joyful sound
Step aside, let di sun-hot rise
We want fi see di sky turn blue
(Sky turn blue, blue)

[Bridge]
Grey veil, lift up and gwine
Open up di gate fi di blue eye
Let di warmth stream down pon di village
From mornin' time 'til di evenin' come
(Evenin' come soft)

[Verse 3]
July, yuh don't know yuh own heart
One time yuh burn wid a fire heat
Den yuh pour down flood pon di mountain
Callin' we to di woods for di berry
Den hidin' we inna quiet rest

[Outro]
July rain, yuh must gwine
(Let di sun-hot rise)
July wind, yuh must gwine
(Fill di yahd wid love)
Sky turn blue, sky turn blue
(Jah sun, shine pon we)
Shine pon we
Shine pon we
Step aside
Step aside
