Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Rastafari know..
Wey mi princess dey star
Come in like she mek a trod a ya
Jah know,
Yo, den, yo, yo, yo, den, yo...
[Chorus]
My Princess gaaaaaaaaaaawwn
Far far awaaaaaaaaay
And she left me a noooote
Saying she's going to staaaaaaaaaay
My Princess gaaaaaaaaaaawwn
Far far awaaaaaaa-aay
And she left me a noo-oote
Saying she's going to staaaaaaaaaay
[Verse 1]
From di odda day, sey she a flop up, & mi see sey she go flip
Wit di likkle short shorts, she have hitch up pan har hip
Is like she all forget about...di royalness
Har fren an company, she a follow mi get di tip
Yo, roundabout she just a jump, she jus a skip,
Say whappen to the ?? you know you use to keep
Say whappen to the King, wey you use to be wit
Yo, well mi see sey dat a un.. unloyal
[Chorus]
She jus gaaaaaaaaaaawwn
Far far awaaaaaaaaay
And she left me a noooote
Saying she's going to staaaaaaay
My Princess gaaaaaaaaaaawwn
Far far awaaaaaaaaay
And she left me a noooote
Saying she's going to staaaaaaaaaay
[Verse 2]
I mek di trod inna di days, she mek di trod inna di night
And she know say she was wrong
And she know dat I was right
Whappen to royalness, no more yu nah act polite
When mi see sey dat you, ready fi, put up a fight
From di odda day mi, see sey yu, acting hype
When yuh friend dem you go follow, an yu follow di wrong type
[Chorus]

Far far awaaaaaaay
And she left me a noooote
Saying she's going to staaaaaaay
My Princess gooooooooooooooone
Far far awaaaaaaay
And she left me a noooote
Saying she's going to staaaaaaay
[Verse 1]
From di odda day she just a flop up, & mi see say she go flip
Wit di likkle short shorts, she have hitch up pan har hip
She nuh memba bout di, king royalness
When a fren an company, she a follow mi a get di tip
Say whappen to the King man you use to be wit
Yo, well a, it seem like sey she diss
[Chorus]
My Princess gooooooooooooooone
Far far awaaaaaaay
Jah Mason's song "My Princess Gone" tells the story of a man who has been left by his princess. The chorus repeats the phrase "My princess gone, far far away, and she left me a note saying she's going to stay." The verses detail how the woman has changed from a virtuous, royal woman into someone who is not loyal and following the wrong crowd. She no longer remembers or respects the king's royalness, and when she is confronted about her new behavior, she is ready to fight. The singer is left confused and heartbroken by this transformation in his princess.
The lyrics of the song speak to a common experience of heartbreak and confusion when someone we love changes or leaves us. Jah Mason's use of "princess" as a term of endearment further emphasizes the sense of loss and betrayal felt by the singer. The chorus is particularly poignant with its repetition of "far far away" - this suggests that the singer's princess has not only left him physically, but also emotionally and spiritually.
Overall, the song is an exploration of the pain of losing someone we love and how it can feel when people change in ways that are difficult to understand. It also highlights the importance of loyalty and respect in relationships, particularly when it comes to respecting one's own royalness and worth.
