Wadada Dang, wadada Da Dang, BIM!
Wadada Dang, wadada Da Dang
Jamaica Jamaica (Galang, galang)
Jamaica Jamaica (Galang, galang)
Mi seh mi know 'bout Jamaica
Guh let mi tell yuh
Seh mi know 'bout Jamaica (Well watcha man)
Jamaica is a land where full of adventure
Land of gold and sunshine and
Mi seh wood and water
The famous Blue Mountain and
The great Dunn's River
Jamaica surround by Caribbean water
The Arawak Indian was the originator
Then the Spaniards, the English
And nuff more follow
Mi seh Christopher Colombus was
A great founder
Born and grown down in Italy inna Geneva
Jah man him was di son of a wool weaver
But then him strive to become a sailor
Him travel for Spain, him was a navigator
Check King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella
Him get di Pinta, di Nina, di Santa Maria
And two hundred men dem armed like soldier
Dem sword pon dem hip and dem one shooter
Columbus a di captain, him a di ruler
Dem sail out a Spain across di blue water
Down in San Salvador, first dem discover
Continue their voyage, reach down inna Cuba
Inna 1494 dem reach down in Jamaica
Dem land inna a place called Santa Gloria
Mi seh down inna di St anne's Bay area
But dey life ketch dem inna dry harbor
Because dem rush out boat and
Run out of water
Dem dock up dey ship and fling out dem anchor
And tek out dem arms and invade di area
Hold on, stumble 'pon some Arawak warrior
Dem never lick a shot before
An arrow dem a fire di chief a di master
Him head full uh feather
Him arrow 'pon him back nah no Winchester
Columbus tek over like a brave soldier
BOOM! Block out di show an
Lick him one shooter
A mi seh little after that
A bare shot start fiyah
And soon dem get a conquer inna Jamaica
And give all di riches to di Spain leader
Inna 1655, blood run like river
When di English fight di Spaniards
And then tek over
Come Mister Mister Cat him a teach culture
Inna it was a small disaster
Jah man dem total battle down a Rio Neuvo
Inna 1659 we first civil governor
Edward D'Oyley him was a brave warrior
Him fight like a lion fi save Jamaica
Him never lose no war, him always conquer
Inna 1755, I man still remember
Seh Kingston made di capital inna Jamaica
Mi know bout Jamaica, parish to corner
Mi a guh tell yuh how
Much acre mek up Jamaica
Mi seh 28 million acre
And you can drive from Kingston to Old Harbor
Santa Cruz, Sav la mar
And then you touch Hanover
If yuh can't drive a
Junction yuh must turnover
