80,000 Careless Ethiopians

(专辑： Reggae Thing - 1976)

Idren and sistren, sight up Jah Ras, Jah Rastafari!
Even the childs on their mothers' breasts,
Are sighting up, are sighting up Jah Rastafari.

80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon.
80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon.
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion.
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion.

And it came to pass in the eleventh year,
In the first month of the seventh day,
The words of Jah came to us, saying:
I shall say unto the north: "Give up!"
And to the south: "Keep not back!"
Send the chosen sons from afar,
And his daughters from the ends of the earth.

80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon.
80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon.
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion.
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion.

A living God,
25,000 shall gather.
Oh, O the my God.
Jah Almighty living God.

And it came to pass in the eleventh year,
In the first month of the seventh day,
The words of Jah came to us, saying:
I shall say unto the north: "Give up!"
And to the south: "Keep not back!"
Send the chosen sons from afar,
And his daughters from the ends of the earth.

80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon.
80,000 careless Ethiopians, shall go down in Babylon.
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion.
Many are called but few shall be chosen, to go to Mount Zion.

Oh, all the licks that I have received,
I feel it all over me.
Even the blind cannot see it's feeling the pressure from Babylon.
Oh, I am feeling all the pain from Babylon licks that I have received all over,
Their faces so ugly they look just like the devil in the deep blue sea.
O Jah, O Jah, O Jah..
