Sadness Songtext
von Mavado

My son, until dat day when our souls meet again
Guidance and protection (and protection and protection)
Reachin′ out to all the lost long-gone soldiers
Even my father was a Rasta man pon di battlefield, enuh
Selassie I, your son remember di I

Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
Sadness from you gone
Daddy is sadness
I remember day goes by when it was gladness
Now is sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
Sadness from you gone
Daddy is sadness
I remember day goes by when it was gladness
Now is sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone


Me remember when we used to smoke together
Sit and chat about life and run joke together
Even though you were my father
We stick together as a friend or even as a bredda, yeah
But now you gone
Jah Jah know
It hurts me deep inside
Jah Jah know
Jah Jah know
Only Jah Jah know
Omega know what I'm going through

Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
Sadness from you gone
Daddy is sadness
I remember day goes by when it was gladness
Now is sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
I remember day goes by when it was gladness
Now is sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone


Me think so hard and smoke di weed fi take di pain out
If me never high, me woulda try fi blow my brain out
All dem evil work weh dem ah gwaan wid, ah go fade out
None ah dem cyaah pass through Zion gate
Daddy use to tell me; "Rasta ah di order
Rasta burn dem bridges, Rasta burn dem dutty border
All weh dem ah gwaan, man ah lef′ dem to di Father"
A righteous Rasta man dem kill

Sadness from you gone
Daddy is sadness
Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
Man remember day goes by when it was gladness
Now is sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone

Sadness from you gone
Sadness
I and I man ah go on
Di gangster youth ah hold strong
God knows
God knows, hey
Sadness from you gone
Jah live
Jah live, Jah live, Jah live
Jah live
Jah live, yeah

Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
Sadness from you gone
Daddy is sadness
I remember day goes by when it was gladness
Now is sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
Sadness from you gone
Daddy is sadness
I remember day goes by when it was gladness
Now is sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone

Me remember when we used to smoke together
Sit and chat about life and run joke together
I and I man
Things have changed around
But, me deh yah same way

Sadness from you gone, sadness
Jah know is sadness
Sadness from you gone, sadness
Man can't forget the day day it was gladness
Gladness
Now is sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
Sadness from you gone
Jah know is sadness
I remember day goes by when it was gladness
Now is sadness from you gone
Sadness from you gone

Selassie I
