Look how long, look how long
Since we've been sleeping down here
We have suffered and felt the pain
Year after year after year
Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!
Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!
They took us away from Africa
Far, far, far from Jamaica
To work on the sleep plantation
All we see was frustration
Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!
Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!
Set me free, set me free
From Babylon's slavery and misery
We are all of one religion
Because I'm a true-born Rastaman
Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!
Jah, O Jah Rastafari!
Emperor Haile Selassie I!
Jah, O Jah Rastafari!

They took us away from Africa
Far, far, far from Jamaica
To work on the sleep plantation
All we see was frustration
